Thoughts on debadging TLS

Who has debugged their TL/TLS and what was left? Fully naked trunk or partial. I am considering debadging my 07 silver type s and wanted to see a few pictures or different ways everyone has done theirs. Thanks in advance!

debadge everything except the "A" in the middle. that "A" is held in by little bolts, so if you take it off...you'll have holes on your trunk lid.

I took everything except the A emblem off. It's not a big difference but it looks a lot cleaner.

As I was doing it I thought about leaving the TL on

But I ended up taking them both off

(sorry the pictures suck)

thanks for the suggestions and pics, i took off the ACURA and am trying to decide on either leaving the TL & type s on or just the type S. Also the fully debugged TL looks really clean! I think its time to photoshop a couple of pictures lol.

I went badge less within 2 weeks of ownership (except for the A) and I don't regret it one bit. The lady @ the DMV inspection had to ask if it was a TL when I got my inspection!

I wonder if you can cut the S off of the Type-S .. get two of them and put it next to the A emblem... I drive like that so it would be perfect!!! ... hmm that aint what this thread is about?

I had debadged my '05 and I'm contemplating on just leaving the S there while removing the rest on my '07. I do like that clean look in the back when it's time for a wash and wax.

Yup just the A and the TypeS emblem. Everything else came off the 1st time car hit my driveway.

I hate emblems and the shit dealers put on cars to advertise. I make them take them off before handing keys over in case they damage paint or they can pay me 45.00 per month to leave them on for advertising fees on my vehicle.

Needless to say they take them off.
