Most cars look better with the badges removed. I think that they are added after the car is designed, so they always look like "add-ons".
I feel that the Acura "A" is still needed on the rear as a focal point, however.

Honda accessories has installation instructions for their gold emblem kit here http://www.handa-accessories.com/tl/08F20.pdf so you can see how the Acura logo is installed. It also shows how to remove the grill, if anyone needs to do that.
There is no bolt, but there are 2 studs in the emblem which go into holes in the deck lid, so you would definitely have holes if you removed the emblem, but it can be removed from the outside
without removing the inner deck lid lining.
I removed the ACURA and TL emblems with dental tape (a little stronger than floss). They came off easily and I just rubbed the little bit of remaining adhesive off with my fingers. Didn't use any solvent, paint remover, etc. Then waxed the deck lid and it looks great.

I only needed to leave the car in the sun for a while, and used fishing line to saw off the emblems. I did't know that the "A" used studs! To me, that shows that the car designers original concept for the car had only the "A" and the rest was added by marketing. My last car, the Solara, had "SLE V6" on the SIDES as well as crap on the rear. I took off so much weight I think my gas mileage went up!
The tint is 40% Johnson Films. The "medium" tint. I find that this is a good compromise for looks, privacy and not getting hasseled by the cops for front tinted windows.
AND - thanks for reminding me to re-set the date in my camera! LOL!
