I bet it would look great. btw, if anyone wants the black pearl "ACURA" and the "TL" pm me your address, and I'll send them to you. I won't be putting them on my car. I'd rather keep the back shaved clean!

If I forgot your name, please add it to the list.... and edit the list with what you want... if you want just "A" emblem then put "A" next to your name, so that way we know what each of you want.

My local dealer told me that "A SPEC" emblem is only sold with the kit I guess time to look them on ebay.

Here is the price for emblems:

"A" = $22.06
"Acura" = $16.82
"TL" = $14.55

I've tried to get hold of the shop today but I had to leave a voice message, hopefully they'll call me back.

CG sales (shop that will do them quoted me the prices below)
$35 for "A", "Acura" = $54 and "TL" = $38

so the final price will be:
"A" = $57.06
"Acura" = $70.82
"TL" = $52.55

this doesn't include shipping... since I'm not trying to make any money out of this.... I'm going to add another $5 for shipping.

Let me know if you guys till want to do this so I can started on this.

It will @least take 2 weeks to get them black chromed, as I was told by the shop.

keep in mind nobody is cutting him any deals. these prices are all if you walked in there yourself and bought the emblem. but again, we are just seeing what the demand is. Nothing will be done till Jatt gets approval from the Admin on this.

Yes, and I believe the back one has a curvature on the back side of it to fit the curve in the trunk whereas the front one is flat.

$57.06/ea.

I'd still be interested in the "A" for front and back.

1) teh jatt - "A" front/back
2) subinf - "A" front/back
3) Jumpman45 - "A" front/back


I wonder if there is price difference between front and back "A" emblem.

If any one else can do better prices then these... then go for it and post them here.

~$240 for the whole set sounds a bit steep. I'm still undecided. It might be a good time to debadge the TL and ACURA and just black chrome the As.

For now, count me out.

By the way, there are quite a few plating companies out there. A quick search on google pulled these:
chromeservices.com
advancedplating.com
usachrome.com

You just send them the emblems, they plate it and ship it back. Advanceplating.com lists the plating cost as $15 and up per emblem. You might be able to reuse your current emblems too.

I'll see if I can find a local plating shop in ATL and get some quotes.

I will call them and ask them if they will take a special order to do like a dozen.

Maybe they will do it.

I'll post my results as soon as I get a response.

Adhesive tape...just like the folks who have rebadged their cars...could probably ask them what they used specifically...a couple of 3G guys have done it.
