It's *probably* fine. Looks good in my imagination.

Ahhh. It's easy.

- Go to Photobucket.com and create an account. It's free and no spam.

- Upload the pic from your PC to your photobucket account.

- On photobucket copy the "IMG CODE" link.

- Paste that link in your post. (it'll look like this, except NO spaces [IMG ]www. photobucket. com/yada/yada/yada/1234xxxx.jpg[/IMG ]

- Voila, you've got pics.

I also debadged...

Heads up on people at gas stations (etc) asking what kind of car you're driving, that happens about once or twice month to me.

My favorite instance to date, the 17 (at best) year old girl pointing to my car and very proudly telling her mom "See, thats the new C Class daddy's gonna buy me"

Anyway, your car looks good man. Put some TL-S tails on there and watch the eyes follow you down the road

Or you could use the quick and dirty method... www.imageshack.us
I think leaving the Acura emblem on there was a good choice. Some cars that are completely debadged look "cheap", IMO.

I think the TL looks good both ways. I am debadged myself. It looks very clean but you will have people wondering what you're driving unless they know their cars and can distinguish between a TSX vs a TL

Hmmm....never been a fan of debadging....for the fact that I'd be retarded enough to take them off with the paint, lol. are they just 3m'd on? or must cover holes? Looks alright by the way.

They way I did it was I took dental floss and worked it around behind them. after that I peeled off the extra glue and used goo gone to get the sticky off. I also used some scratch fix to get out some of the swirlls that were left by trying to get the cgue off. Wax when your done. Very slow job but worth it in the end

Should have used a hair dryer to heat them up a bit to loosen up the glue. It did mine in all of half an hour or so..
