I just bought an 08 Base/Nonnav TL. The "ACURA" script emblem and "TL" emblems were removed. The center "A" emblem is black, I'm not sure if it is painted or was purchased that way but it looks saweeet on the White Diamod Pearl paint. Does anyone know where I can get the "ACURA" and "TL" emblems in black?

try using your finger nail to scrape off the paint.
if its easily scratch-able, then the plasti-dipped was used.

plasti-dip is awesome because it can be easily removed.
if the A was plati-dipped then all you have to do is buy the ACURA and TL and plasti-dip them.

Butt, I would just leave off the ACURA and TL. it gives the trunk a much cleaner look

You know justin, I was just outside looking at that. I think I like the cleaner look. Thanks.

Just wondering what the best way to take them off is???

since its cold outside, you cant rely on the sun.

but if you have access to a hair dryer or a bucket of warm - hot water, you can def. heat up the glue and use fishing line to "saw" the emblems off.

And then the excess glue that is left on the body, what about that??

Just keep heating that??

^goof off works well to remove the residue left behind. might have to do a light polish afterwards to make the paint pop.

Everyone on here usually wants to REMOVE the "ACURA" and "TL" emblems off their cars. This is the first that i've read about someone asking about installing it back on the car. lol

Most young people like to take off the emblems. Looking at the Original Posters age; this gentleman wanted to bring back the classiness of the car.

butt, this is why we have acurazine.
We have shown him the light.
and the beautiful clean look of the trunk!

Happy modding!

Usually your fingernail will take off most of it. Then I use my DA buffer, microfiber pad and Optimum Hyper Compound to get the rest off.

Pizzaman, I'm a noob so I can't post pictures yet, not sure when I will be able to. Not totally clear on the rules here.

It says you can't post pictures, but before my trial period was up I could. I use photobucket and host the pictures there. All you do is copy the IMG code below the picture on photobucket and then copy it into the box where you type your message on here. Works every time.

I bought these and sent them to Amp'd Emblems to get them lit up. They look awesome just black chrome...I can't wait to get them wired up (but I have to to ).

Fishing strings/dental floss, hair dryer, rubbing alcohol, some kitchen towel and yeah a pair of gloves were all i need to remove the ACURA and TL...u might wanna finish it up with some polishing compound

WD-40 removes the glue easily and doesn't hurt the paint.

Next time I wash my car my emblems are coming off

hammy1983

are there any holes left over once you pull off the emblems? I know with my old civic there were.

only under the A.

the 'ACURA' and 'TL' is just held on by 3M tape

If I remove my "ACURA" will I see a halo or shadow in the paint where it was? I have a pearl white 2008.

yes. you're going to have to use lots and lots of elbow grease to remove the stubborn glue.

or if you have a polishing machine....

GoRavens

I have a polisher. Do you think I will see a non-faded area? Should I attempt or leave as is?

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

no, you will not see any faded area.
unless the car was out in the sun for 20 years.

attempt it!!!!!!

yes, you'll have to remove the grill from the other side of the hood.
there's a diy floating around here somewhere
