DE-BADGING:

RE-BADGING:

this diagram will show you all the specs to on how to replace the badges on the 2004 and 2005 Acura TL.

 

I guess I'll be the first to reply....I've always thought that WDP has always accentuated all the wonderful curves of the 3g TL. Debadging makes it look even sexier.

 

i totally agree

 

SSM DEBADGED in Montreal CA

 

i voted for am, since thats my car..lol

the tl looks SO much cleaner with out the badges....

 

It looks good on any color

 

IMO, if there's too much "writing" on the rear end, it's distracting.

 

Mine...I obviously like the clean look as well

 

For some reason, I personally think de-badging looks better on the darker tl's (black, maroon, blue) than on lighter colors. Just my opinion... I think it's a contrast thing....

That being said, I have a NBP and probably won't be de-badging it anytime soon (even though it may look good on my color)..

 

I voted for NBP but IMHO all cars that have less lettering in the back look cleaner and classier, but that's just me...

 

Im going to debadge my WDP this weekend for sure...

What do ya use to take em off??
Thanks.

 

check this link out...its a really good DIY

The first four letters of your user name will work wonders. A blow drier, or even hot (not boiling) water poured over the badges will also help.

Then use dental floss in a sawing motion and the badges should easily come off. The middle A badge is held in by a bolt so don't try the dental floss method with that one.

Any glue residue will come off easily with either a little gentle rubbing or alcohol or tar remover.

 

or GOO GONE

 

goo gone works miracles

NBP represenT!

 

does anyone have pics of an SSM TL Dabadged with Wing Spoiler?

 

I debadge the 1st hour I got my car

 

u wouldn't happen to have an SSM with wing spoiler? would you...

 

I partially debadged, I took off the Acura and left the TL. Its a good look. Oh yeah AM biotches!

 

T Diddy...do you have a wingspoiler?

 

I cannot decide at all... one minute I have the floss and goo gone out and the next minute I am afraid it will look ricey. I have seen debadged cars that looked gutted out and like someone was trying to cover up the fact that thier car was a lower model.... also people that buy the lowest end of a brand are often the first to debadge, or at least that is the image of debadgers to some extent. I am all for clean lines but I just can't decide... I hate cars that look like they are trying to be something they are not.

 

No, Im not a big fan of spoilers, but the lip spoiler looks alright.

Guys...if anyone could post a picture of a Debadged SSM TL W/ Wingspoiler id be forever greatful. im thinking about doing so, but i want to see what it looks like first, because once u take it off, its quite a bitch to put back on.

 

Oh what the hell I'm goign to debadge it today.

 

LOL. Changed my mind again. I've decided it looks too fat without badges. I'll leave it alone.

 

WOW! After reading this thread, I went out to my garage and did the deed! And I have to say that THIS IS HOW THE TL IS SUPPOSED TO LOOK!!! I just used dental floss, my fingernail, windex, and polish.

 

glad this helped

 

nice....I debadged mine within an hour of owning it...

 

i'm just surprised that i saw a DMM TL debadged

good job on compiling it, me likes it a lot

 

04 AM De-badged with Black Chrome Logo

 

Bet you never saw one like the one above

 

i did! yours

i really need to detail my car soon. i'm missing how the sun just hits it giving that lens flare effect

i may debadge only the "TL" in the back and once i get my A-spec aero kit and suspension, i may place it where the "TL" used to be.

 

You guys got me thinking here......looks kind of cool!

 

Hit me up on my Cell and we can set something up.
We'll make that baby shine.

Just bring the car and your muscles.

 

Looks sweet! Great job on the DIY process!

 

Just picked up my '06 last Saturday, picked Carbon Bronze over Anthacite, tinted 35%.
Carbon Bronze only in Canada?

 

maybe ur thinking of DESERT MIST METALLIC?

 

No, it's a different color. Go check out acura.ca.

 

aha...thats an interesting color...is it new?
