Need help after Deer accident!!! 2006 Acura TL

My car was just involved in a collision with a deer. The shop was able to restore everything to an "almost" new condition...with the exception of replacing the small Acura "A" logo on the driver's side quarter panel. Here is a photo of the one on the passenger side.

The dealer was not sure where or how to find one of these...does any one know where the little logo can be purchased??

Is this not standard detailing from the shop??? My local dealer (not where it was purchased) seems to think it was a custom add-on after sale.

This is the problem with aftermarket pinstripes, its custom. If you can't find, or make up the insignia, remove the stripes.

Yup-TL's don't have any pin stipes from the factory.

Hmm, I wonder if I can find a place that sells little decals like that? I may try to post another photo with a ruler next to it so we can see the size

Look for Screen Printers/Sign Makers lots of times those shops have machines that can cut stickers. I imagine it could cost up to 20-30 bucks though.

I feel ya... its the details that us Acurazine enthusiasts seek and we get all bent out of shape when we can't get it done. I agree witht he above post, try vinyl sticker shops, that would be your best bet, I can't see them not being able to do that for you and do it with less headaches.
