I think he means on the wing spoiler. It is the same way on mine. It is just showing that it is an authentic Acura/Honda accessory. Why is it upside down? I don't know...I haven't thought about it either.

I had to go out and look at my trunk emblem, but it appears that the emblem could be put on upside down, but I don't know exactly where the pins and holes are so it might not be easy.
Some people like to be different, and maybe the factory messed up when they put it on and nobody noticed.

haha i just read this whole thread thinking "what..the....fukc" im so confused right now. There is no reason the factory would put it in upside down, let alone it get past PDI, and walkarounds, and test drives not being caught. It's just idiots that do it apparently.

^^^ Saw it the other month, myself...an Integra with an upside down Honda emblem...nothing's an old fad when you live amongst bumpkins (and no, the mullet hasn't died here, either).

Put foam tape behind the license plate frame & plate to get rid of rattles. This mod should give you an extra 5HP

The Acura logo dates back to 1986, when Honda introduced the Acura sales channel for it's more expensive models in the US and Canada, in order to exploit a US loophole on the importation limit of foreign-built cars per company. Contrary to popular belief, the Acura logo is not a stylized "A" (in the manner the Honda logo is a stylized "H"). The Acura logo is actually an upright stylized caliper. It is meant to represent the commitment to excellence and the accuracy with which Acura's are built and engineered. Of course it's no mistake that the caliper also resembles a capital letter A.
