I was wondering... Has anyone considered removing the ACURA and TL name badges from the trunk? I think it looks much better...what do you think?

 

a lot of people have debadged their cars. I would suggest leaving the Acura symbol on, since that is drilled into the trunk. But the Acura (name) and TL are on with glue, so, it is easily removeable. I like the look personally... looks cleaner (which is why I did it).

 

Yeah, referred to as Debadged or Debadging. Search using those terms and you will see lots of existing threads including tips and tricks on how to do it yourself.

 

With the 04 Tl debadging looks hella weird since it has that wonderful "Acura" stamp on the front bumper....

 

yes, i have. there's too much lettering on the back, but i left the "A" symbol. cleaner look and easier to clean/wax.

 

Mine is gone as well. Personal opinion is it looks much better.

 

I took the Acura and TL badges off for a while, but then I put them back on.

I just decided it looked better with them on, and I am proud of my TL and this lets people know what that car is that is looking so good.

 

Ron A, how did you put it back? What kind of glue or adhesive you put on?

I haven't seen too many ppl mentioning this...

Thanks.

 

I have some Kent Industries black double-sticky molding tape, about 1" wide, but you can probably find tape that does the same thing in parts stores or auto body shop suppliers. There may even be something better available, but I didn't look for it. Make sure to get tape specifically for moldings, so it isn't too thin,because the spaces in the back of the moldings are recessed a little bit.

I had to cut the tape into pieces that fit in the spaces in the back of the moldings, but once it is on the car you can't even tell it is little pieces instead of the original thing. The black tape does not show, even on my WDP car (I'll throw that in before someone asks the question).

 

I removed all badges on the back of my NBP. I personally think it looks much cleaner.

 

Let us see some pics. I want to see some pics! Thinking of pullin mine off. any tips on removal.

 

Check GARAGE if possible... http://www.acura-tl.com/forums/showthread.php?t=85353 Thank You.

 

 

Ummm, imax, ur probably right with this DMM 04TL.

 

I agree that looks pretty plain, but put a license plate on that and see if your opinion changes. I'm thinking of removing mine not for the looks, but just because they are a pain in the butt to wax around.

it definitely looks better (debadging) on certain colors more than others...

 

2nd Gen TL's look cool without any names becasue the license plate portion is at the bumper leaving a huge space at the trunk. Their unique rear end makes that possible.

 

How's about collecting all colors' pics and post here??

 

I posted pics of my debaged anthracite, should be in the gallery... having the plate there makes a difference IMO

Anyone else has debadging pics....?

 

Rets is the picture search king!

 

Debadging = rice

 

Coming from the VP of "racing"

you are an insult to Team Anthracite

 

My title was abbreviated by someone. I originally requested 'Team Anthracite, VP, Racing Division' which sounds better to me. I think the whole Team Anthracite thing has run its course. I'll be changing my signature.

Here's mine ... I took them off because of the other crap I have on there and it just looked too crowded ... I took them off to see how it would look, can always put them back on ... but I like it like this.

 

does anyone have a pic of debadge in SSM?

 

i only took off the ACURA letters, b/c i want everyone to know that this hot car is a TL. it looks much better now, its not took crowded but isnt to plain either.

 

SSM DEBADGED in Montreal CA

 

Can you buy letters to badge it like have something extra on it but not having a yag sticker or decal
