They are, I just think that Ethan didn't want to put them on.... I have my trunk shaved as well and will only be putting the "A" on the back... however I have given some thought to putting the black chromed "ACURA" and "TL" on the back just to see what it looks like on an NBP

There's only one way to find out!

Put it on there and see what it looks like.
We can take a poll.....

I am guessing you would have to make it out of a clear or white plastic that could be backlit. I am concerned that it would be kinda ugly during the day when the light is off.

If it is even feasible, we would have to get Licensing rights through ACURA so that's yet still another hurdle.
The problem, as I told Thorin78 is that we have to make mass quantities, and I don't think the demand for a backlit front emblem is really there for large quantities.

Trancemission or A-Spec Guy,
Did you get those from the Acura Canyon dealer? Is their anyone else who would sell them now since I'm assuming there might not be anymore since someone said there was only 3 left at that particular dealership.
Thanks
Emblem looks good on the car too Trancemission.

Yeah thats where I got mine from. Im not sure if they are going to do anymore. But the guy did say he sent them to that Mr Chrome. I have a friend that owns a power coating company. Im gonna meet up with him and bring him a brand new set that I have and see what he might be able to do with them. I will let you know what I can come up with. If they turn out nice I might start getting them done. Im gonna try a gloss black of some kind, dont really know yet. TehJatt is waiting to hear back from Steve from Weir Acura. Maybe they can send more off to get done if we can confirm a certain amount of orders.

Trancemission (our mod) can get the "A" emblems @ wholesale price (he will let me know on that). All we need is head count on how many people are buying... and I can send it for to get them black chromed.... I have the info on the shop that does it.
what do u guys think?

Good Idea!
I had suggested it to someone else with a WDP.
I think the Black Pearl is gonna look real good on your car, should flow real well with your current set up.
