The ACURA and TL are in a different location than OEM. Either they moved them down themself or a bodyshop didn't know WTF they were doing! :lol:

At first I thought it was de-badged. But yea, the ACURA and TL are moved down. Looks kinda weird (different).

Winner - body shop fail. The rear bumper was a noticeably different color than the rest of the car.

The cutoff is fine - it's a new BMW X5 (I was passenger), pretty sure cutoff wasn't messed up already.

i was about to say that the cutoff line isnt from a TL projector. TL projectors are the best bixenons in the world. then i saw that u said the car was an x5....then i was like ooo. also from the angle it seems like your car is much higher than the tl, which makes sense considering its an x5

Another reason to de-badge...sliding emblems are a common side-effect of high velocity TLs. Honda just didn't take into account the adhesion standard deviation caused by excessive VTECulation indexing.

Wow thats incredible to think that if this was the work of a body shop that is insane. There are soooooo many TL's on the street that even if I didnt own one I would know thats messed up and not correct. Whats even more sad is the owner is completely oblivious to it as well. How do you not know where the emblems go? Surely the person has seen the back of a TL before lol.

I saw a 03-07 Accord once and the V6 emblem was mounted on the lower rear bumper above the exhaust tip LOL
