This morning, as I was walking by my car I realized that the Type-S emblem was gone!!!!! . I was so pissed off. I've had my car for a month and now this happens. I'm almost positive someone stole it as these emblems don't fall off that easily. All that's left is the ugly sticky stuff and some scratches to the paint. I hate this F****ng ghetto. I'm ready to get out of here.

Does anyone know if these emblems are under warranty? Can I ask the dealer for a free replacement and say that it fell of by itself?
If not, does anyone know who has one or where I can buy one from for a good price. Please help me!!!!!!!!

Stolen parts wouldn't be covered under warranty. Try www.hondacuraworld.com for a replacement.

It's about $30 at the dealer.

And, no it's not a warranty item. Lying to "steal" one from the dealer makes you the same as your "ghetto" neighbors. You're a better person than that.

That sucks! Where at in SA? Ill start looking around for civics with a type-S emblem.

Where in San Antonio?
Leon Valley. Right between Evers Rd and Bandera.

BWT. Does anyone know what I should use to remove the glue and the foam that was left? Is there a special formula that doesn't damage the paint on the car? Let me know

jrobert,

Some guys like to debadge their TL's-even Type S models. Maybe someone got you started on debadging. I would want my Type S badge back though-just like you do.

When i debadged my old car i used a ton of windex and a credit card to scrape the glue off, then did a wax job afterwards. Had it for 2 years after that and definitely couldn't tell there was ever anything there....

How gay! Im sorry dude, but atleast its not a big expense, just think of it that way. I wish there was a way to run electricity throught out the body of the car when the car was armed. This way anyone who dare touch anything on the car would fucking die!

Black0ut

Vato, I was going to return it to you but I heard the type-S emblem would add 25 hp to my El Camino...

Black0ut

seriously though, someone stole my type-s valve caps at a six flags in new jersey...bastards! it's incredible the stupid sh!t people will steal...

TLTrance

This reminds me of like 10-15 years ago when people used to steal the stupid Honda "H"... I even saw some people use them as keychains or had them glued onto their school binders. Plain old retarded.

Sorry to hear about your misfortune. I've seen cars broken into in my neighborhood as well, and I'm not in a ghetto. PM stands for Private Message. You can PM that guy above offering the Type-S badge by clicking on his name or going here:

this is true but fuck dealers the make enough money

jrobertiko

The funny thing is that one of my friends has a Mazda 3 and he bought 2 type S emblems at AutoZone and glued them on each side of the car, but no, I know my friend wouldn't steal emblems off cars. He's an honest guy.
So, where can I get the goo gone stuff from????

LoveMyTL-S

Goo Gone can be bought at the dollar store. Saw it there yesterday. Or any hardware or department store has it.

Kracker

Is it called "Goof Off" I get mine from hardware stores... Lowes or Home Depot has it. But get wax too...

I'm just a few miles up the road... De Zavala and I-10. But my car lives inside

I would take a drive to Dallas and check out that Mark Cuban guy...

LoveMyTL-S

I use Goo Gone. Goof Off is another product. It would probably work as well.

Just realized someone scraped off my Type S emblem too! Googled and came across this post. I didn't know stealing Type S emblems was the trend. Oh well, im just glad they didnt scratch the car itself. Theres minor scratch looks like they used a key.

DaeHanMeenGuk

smek, at least it was just the badge. it could've been way worse. there are members here who even lost their TL-S waffles. but either way, i'm sorry to hear that your emblem got stolen. try the dealership and see if your SA can help you out somehow. best of luck!

I didn't know bumping useless threads from 2008 was a stupid thing to do.

younger kid that lives a few doors down was at my place the other day. saw my type s emblem sitting on the workbench and asked if he could have it. I asked him why the fuck he wanted it, and he responded with "so i can put it on the back of my car (DB8) with a ex emblem from a civic behind it and have it say 'type sex'." He is one of the trendiest kids, so this didnt suprise me at all. I told him to put it down, gtfo and to quit being a poser, lol.

goo gone and goof off can sometimes be harmfull to paint. Havent had it happen to me, but have seen pix from others where it made a mess.

I use an eraser wheel for stuff like emblem adhesive, pinstripes, etc. its just what it sounds like. a bigass eraser that goes in the end of a cordless and as it spins it gums up and rolls the adhesive off. you can damage paint with it too leaving it in one spot too long, but I have yet to ruin paint with this method either. a little wax after your done and you cant tell at all there was an emblem there. can usually be picked up at any paint supply store.

The only problem with the goo gone is it wont take everything off.
Trust me you should heat the glue up with a hairdryer and rub it with a terry towel.
The only problem is this WILL marr your paint, lucky for me I know how to buff

So in '08 it was type S emblems, now it's type S lip spoilers and rims. What's next?

^ roof spoilers -_____-

sorry your s badge was stolen!! i'd be pissed -__- hopefully you're able to clean it up and purchase a new badge. on ebay they have tl type-s badges in chrome + black to give you another option other than the type-s badge in chrome + red.

Healingduck

The type S itself.

Franchise1124

Thread title and some of the posts brought up bad memories. I've had my trunk spoiler stolen, my Type-S badge stolen, and even the "Acura" lettering on my trunk stolen in 3 separate occasions

Needless to say, I've moved to a nicer area.
