Steven seems like he's actually declining to buy it because it's too cheap for him. He normally likes to blow large sums of cash at a time. He'll be featured on MTV's True life soon enough...

$75.00?

Seeing how people go as far as to even steal the "ACURA" lettering around here, spending that much money on a badge that would probably get stolen anyways is

i don't think $75 is that bad. i've seen them go for $90+ on this forum before.

they don't make this anymore so it is a rare item for sure.

I don't get why you would buy a badge if you didn't buy the car as an ASPEC car. Isn't there a thread somewhere about hating on people putting Type S badges on Base cars, isnt this more or less the same thing?

I guess I will never understand paying that much money for a badge.

Well, I'll only speak for myself...but I was one of the original aspecs...prior to them calling it that so my car didn't have the badging but should have. I would definitely consider paying it if I was missing it...but I'm debadged.

I agree that it's a steep price, but you know how it works with supply and demand!

No, thats completely different lol

Theres a difference between owning a base tl with no red interior accent, no 3.5l engine, nothing type s except for maybe rims, etc.

If you have essentially everything an A spec package has, you have an A spec tl.

The thing is, the aspec is a addon package.
Back then you could buy a tl and buy it with thr package added on.

The type s is a model. Acura doesnt offer a type s addon package now do they?

some asshole ripped mine off and with that damaged my paint as well !! it would be cheaper to cover the damage with the new emblem but im not taking the risk anymore. It will probably happen again. Im sure that badge is on some civic.

I wonder if I should buy it, put it on clay, fill with plaster, and find a shop in China that will mass produce it. Then 75 dollars doesn't seem too bad.......
