I've noticed more than once that the "A" Acura emblem is upside down on the trunk?!??! whats up with that??!?!?

 

Is it on your own car?

 

we are confuzzled. I've have noticed, more than once, that it looks right side up on mine though.

 

I don't see it on mine.....any pics????

 

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.

 

my A is fine.....weird??

 

It's something idiots do thinking they are cool...I've seen upside down Honda H's, too.

 

i don't have a pic.. but its basically like this..

 

^ Oh. Disregard my earlier post then.

 

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.

 

its wierd.. b/c i've seen it on at least 3 other cars on the road... could it mean something w/ options maybe? this one is fully loaded w/ navi and everything.

maybe V spec? is there such this? Upside down A is a V??

i'm just thinking outloud. lol.. I know there is A spec, maybe V spec too..

 

You got wayyyyyy too much time on your hands ..lol

 

People do this because upside down it somewhat resembles an "H". Upside down A or any upside down emblem = rice

 

"Vcura"

 

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.

 

TL on Viacura?

 

you can't be serious. They're just idiots trying to be different. Just point and laugh next time you see 'em.

 

I think I remember a member putting his upside down to show people his Vietnamese Heritage.....no joke. I think his member name was Vzutpnuyen or something like that.

 

I did that for about 30 sec... it was right after i came out of the movies and suddenly i had the urge to put it up side down. i think i had just watched "V 4 VENDETA,VENDEDA" or how ever u spell that shit.

 

It's actually a pretty cool looking design upside down. Still better than a lot of emblems out there. The fact that I would know it's upside down though, makes it silly.

 

although if I had a Honda, I'd be tempted to use the Upside down acura emblem. Makes a cool little H. Are you noticing these upside down emblems on honda's or acuras?

 

..... and that would = rice. Don't see it much anymore but a few years ago everyone was doing it. It looks so damn ugly...... ugh just my

 

^^^ 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).

 

I saw an MDX a few months ago with the upside down symbol. I'd say it's some dummy at the plant putting it on wrong.

 

Dude its V for VTEC~!!!!111!
All the cool ricers sport it


Had this on my car long time ago, took it off cuz of rattles

 

Some people do have way to much time on their hands.

That's not an A it's a Caliper to indicate precision engineering.

 

^ thats awesome.

 

Don't you mean a compass? First time I ever heard that.

 

The rattles were the car, not the license plate frame...

 

No he means a caliper. It is a similar design on the Motor Trend Car of the Year award (if you can envision that). The MT award is more rounded though.

 

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

 

Did a Acura Google search and found this (Author Unknown). I'm an old Honda fan and I remember.

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.

Its funny that you bring up the upside down A on our acuras because when i went down to florida, i saw tons of infiniti's with the upside down symbol...i thought it was very weird myself! lolol...you have to be an idiot to do that yourself though ;/

 

the Vietnamese do it for heritige. white guys do it because they think it was cool and the new fad.

 

so the Emblem is not a A. WTF!!! its a caliper Dam!!! i feel like i was lied to.

 

that's what i had to do for my plate frame. no more rattle

 

that's what i read somewhere on here... i think it was the 2nd gen TL forum.

 

It's the sign of Satan, the end is near. Your TL's will all turn into Yugo's!!!
