So you just took off those shiny emblems on the trunk and are deciding where to frame them in your living room but just cant decide. wellllll, heres a thought...



comments/opinions welcome

just dont be dick

 

i put acura there and they fall off from the sun beating on the dash. Also leaves marks.

 

oh really? mines been on for a few weeks and hasnt fallen off yet. what did you use? i used black silicone adhesive and it came off without marks when i tested it

 

Not to be a dick, but why take the time to de-badge the exterior just to add an out-of-place badge in the interior? Actually, since the badge hasn't been "removed" from the car, it's not really de-badged, is it?

 

He can stick them to his forehead if he wants, who cares. The point of customizing your car is to make it look the way YOU want it to. I see nothing wrong with putting the badges on the inside. Besides, you're wrong, the concept of debadging only applies to removing extraneous badges on the outside of the vehicle for a clean look, who gives a shit about the interior.

 

Me.

 

touche'

 

lol same thing happened to me

 

I put mine over to right farther---under the vent. My "ACURA" emblem is in my trunk, on the inside of the lid close to the window. 3M double sided tape has worked well--though I did have to double it up on the "TL" to make it stick.

 

+1 you cant say you don't care about the interior , if thats the case then you should have bought a geo metro or similar

 

It's a good idea, I've seen other cars in person that have that done.

It's just nothing I would do to my car

 

is my comment/opinion.

 

Here was what I did with mine...

 

+1

I don't like it

 

I don't feel it too, but hey, it's your car so keep it if you like it!!

 

not my taste but as long as you like it...

 

:thumbsdow

 

I recently took off the rear "Acura" and the "TL" but I left the "A" and the Type-S, funny how it makes the entire rear look different...my wife thought I changed out the rear bumper. I don't think I'll put the emblems on anywhere else. I agree that this is your ride and you can do as you wish...if you want it on the dash I would also scoot it way over to the right or maybe on the bottom section of the door.

 

Meh.

 

Pics?

 

nah ...unless it's a TL-S.....otherwise.... I don't need to remind the passengers that they are riding a TL.....

 

^^second that

 

same car. I dont have the tl-s but mine is 100 times nicer then one.

 

Not feelin it

 

I like how you think.... All somebody needs to do is slap on a couple of tl-s badge's, body kit, and rims and no girl will know the difference ( who we kidding, this is for the women), let alone care.... as long as you got it... TL is the SHYT no matter what it is.....

 

Not feelin' it. It's too big, sticks out too far, and doesn't match the the rest of the silver/aluminum trim in the car.

Other than that, your's is the only opinion that really counts - so if you like it, keep it!

 

DUDE!.... the interior is what makes the car the SHYT!!!..... first you get pulled in by that sexy exhaust, and gorgious headlights, and boootilucious rear end.... then when you get to know her.... you realize she's even sexier on the inside.... AND EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE INSIDE HER! (if you know what I mean)....

 

I hate when ppl don't clean their cars.... mah boy has a lexus IS 250.... beautiful on the outside... slammed with nice rims.... when when you step inside.... You feel like your in a 20 year old Hooptee, like you stepped into an 88 Toyota.....

 

 

^ just speaking my mind....

 

appreciate everyone's opinions and nondickness. you cant really get a feel for it from a picture as you can in person. ive asked people riding in it for the first time and they all thought it was stock and everyone said to keep it. for any of you debadgers, you can try and hold it up there and see what it looks like in person. you either like it or you dont.
i for one, do.


+ its shiny as shit. matches great with the "A" on the steering wheel. highly highly disagree with "and doesn't match the the rest of the silver/aluminum trim in the car." but hey, thats your opinion.

 

Good point.

I was referring more to the rest of the aluminum trim in the interior that has that "textured" look to it.

But like I said: if you like it and it makes you happy, that's all that matters.

 

umm. i was never good at those "where's waldo" games but i looked pretty hard and dont see any emblem..
did you post the right picture?

 

Its on the plastic part of the engine cover just below the intake manifold.

rw

 

Did you just use 3M tape or something else? Thats not a bad idea under the hood.

 

3M Tape, doubled up and trimmed with an Exacto knife.

 

I thought the same thing. Haa ha!
The TEIN decal was the attraction point of the picture to me, my eyes overlooked the engine cover.

As for the TL emblem on the glove, I don't think I like it but it could be something 10X better seen in person.

I painted mine black. DONT USE ARMORAL SHINE.....IT FADES THE LOOK to an off white color.

 

I didnt mean to imply that the interior doesnt matter. I'm saying that with regards to 'de-badging', nothing in the interior is relevant.

 

Here ya go!
