lmfaoo his feeling are hurt

 

that's an obvious cause the 3rd/4th gen tl is only made in the states...

anyways, this is the same as people putting type R badges and red honda badges. just why lol

 

Time to do my little rant since so many want to flame those that mod...

I modded my '08 base with an A-Spec kit, wing, Type-S lights and side markers cuz I like it.. really could give a crap what others think. No Type-S Badge or exhaust tips. I wouldn't mind the tips but would never do the badge.. It's my fricken $$, my car, who's business it is what I do or anyone else does?

Many of you need to find something else to do instead of getting riled up cuz someone change the looks of their car.. sheeeesh!

As they say, being a [insert any number of profane names here] isn't against the law.

 

lolllllllllll on that ugly "phantom"

 

lol good one.

 

i think everyone here is debating on the use of the " type S" badge on a base TL. hence the poser label. there are plenty of guys here that tastefully mod their cars with a-spec and type s parts, but would not think to badge their car with "type S" since anyone who knows the TL well, knows faux-look a like type S isn't a real type S. the only time anyone would get flamed is for mods of questionable taste. but hey to each his own. so no need to get upset over a thread you seemed to have taken out of context.

 

^werd.

 

Upset? I wasn't upset, just posting my opinion rather strongly. I am a live and let live guy, what can I say? If a person wants to make a VW look like a Ferrari, more power to him.

But that is just me.

 

^can I fit the front end of the 4th gen on to my TL?

 

Sure.. all it takes is some duct tape and bondo! I will help!

 

No duct tape, I would like to make this install as clean as possible.
Do you have experience with fiberglass and bondo?

 

You wouldn't like the outcome of my work!

 

I'm one state west of you and we have one Acura dealer. It's only 20mins from me thankfully. Type-S TL's are very rare too but I see more bases everyday. Same here for 4G's. Mostly NJ and NY plates here.

It is comical to me that I am trying to hide everything I am doing where some are yelling at everyone, including the cops, look at me! I want a ticket!!!

 

On my last few vehicles I have removed any type of "badging". It's a cleaner look to me. I've yet to remove it from the Type-S, will probably do this weekend. The question I ask is why? Why would a non Type-S want to put on a Type-S badging? Doesn't change anything other than appearance. I had an 05 Chevy Colorado before the Acura and would see guys put the SS badge on their truck. Like that magically changed the I-5 to an LS-1.....really?? On my truck I would get alot of compliments, but every now and again there was that "Whoa, yellow? That's a horrible color". Didn't bother me cause I liked it. I'm just getting into modding the Acura and looking around the site getting different ideas. Some mods I see at very nice while others not so much. But I guess in the end is what you think is cool on your vehicle, it is yours, you shouldn't feel worried about what other's think.

 

SO SO GAY!! I dont know why these guys cant just be proud of the fact they drive a TL to begin with....

^ The reason "people" like me get riled up is because we are Acura enthusiasts, who are members of Acurazine - "the unofficial Acura enthusiast resource". An enthusiast would find slapping a Type-S badge on a base TL gay, where anyone else wouldnt give a shit.

Enthusiasts take it personally...try telling your mom that her cooking sucks, or your wife that she's fat...enthusiasts feel like the mother or the wife when they see an Acura RDX Type-S or a base poser.

 

And to think, I almost didn't post my rant up.

 

Sure, live and let live, that doesn't mean it can't be commented on.

HAHAHAAHHAAHAH that fake Phantom video was funny as fuck!

 

And these things that other people do to their cars affect your life.. how? Just wondering since you "get riled up". They don't which is why I said what I did.. but hey, if you have nothign better to do than to get upset over things liek that.. be my guest... so where can I get Type-S badges? I want to put some on my F-150

Time to chill a bit

 

Ok you guys all sound like haters, you are all probably mad that my Illest sticker gave me 50+ Hp.

Lol, The craziest shit ive seen is a a chevy van that had Hummer emblems all over it....

I guess to each their own, personally type s or non type s - debading looks the cleanest IMO

 

I used to see a purple Accord coupe with a Corvette emblem on the trunk on the freeway all the time. Haven't seen that one in a while.

 

Gotta love people, lol

 

It's off to see Honda Accords here on the streets of Saint Petersburg Russia that look like TSX's with Type-S badging. I need to get pix!

 

Since everyone is talking about S-Type badges. I think people who wear a Superman logo as tattoo, shirt, license plate have the same mentality as someone who places phony badges on their car. Its some type of confidence, self esteem issue.

 

but I think they come in type-s flavors overseas, do they not?

 

 

Yikes!! I'd be a bit testy too if I was in Russia today

 

If it hits 4 or 5 pages by thursday, you might just have the Thread Win of the Week!

 

Only two pages here. I can't stand having short pages.

 

Is there a prize for that? I'm always open to cash.

 

I want to put a BMW emblem on my TL, then i will call my TL BMCURA! Now that's what i call stylish

 

That's a SOLID idea! [/sarcasm]

Actually, that brings up another one I've noticed - "M" badges on 328's...geesh.

 

Dodge Neons used to have an optional package from the factory called "SRT Designs" It was a body kit and wing that you could make your non SRT neon look like an SRT-4. I've seen a couple driving around here.

 

and a turbo charger too

 

Lol, you guys have to much time on your hands

 

Some people have no shame...
Another example that comes to mind is caliper covers to look like big brake kits.

 

... still working on that Type-S emblem for my F-150 and call it a Forcura.. or get some Raptor skins for it.. oooh.... nah

 

Nice one

 

LOL. Thanks.

yeah, as was mentioned.. being in Russia for the last 3 months has warped my mind.. made me grumpy/testy/bitchy/PMS'ing and just downright hard to live with! Once I ge thome and wash this place off me.. several showers should do it.. I might be back to being just mean

 

Type S' are ugly anyways.
