Sweet! I'm thinking to do the same to mine. There's just too much on that trunk lid. A friend did it to his A4 and it looks clean and better imo. I will attempt to post pics when I do it.

Sneaky guys....I LOVE IT. Change the wheels and nobody on the road knows you've got a TL-S until... It's too late and they are wondering...Just how fast ARE those TL's...Nicely done!
Although to us fellow owners, the front bumper, the lights on the mirrors and the rear tail lights tell us it's a TL-S, NOBODY else would recognize the difference unless the regular and the TLS were right next to each other and even then it might be a "where's Waldo" exercise for most of the public.

Anyone have pictures of their cars without the "Acura" only?

pointless IMO. the car actually looks as if something is missing
the real rason people started to remove badges is so you wouldn't know they had a lower model of the car

Rule of thumb is... If it doesn't have a badge, DON'T mess with it! ESPECIALLY if it HAS a body kit! Lot's of CLK320's do NOT have the AMG bodykit (as it was fairly expensive around $2K)
Idiots have DO have the lower end cars and de-badge are just "posers"!!!

rbf351, i'm messing with you. i just happened to notice that you get aggravated with some of these questions. everyone is intitled to ask any question they want, that's what forums are about.

i think that is your issue right there... if you want a very nice outcome, you need to invest in a PC (porter cable)... find your way into the Wash & Wax forums... tons of info there and one of the vendors exceldetail (patrick) has great products and advice... good luck...
