Thanks guys, but don't give pat me on the back yet.
I prefer to wait until Steve at ACURA gets it done.
I didn't call him yesterday cuz I wanted to make sure I could order at least a half dozen or so.
I will ask him today for pricing.
This is the count so far.

i have a call into the chromer...i will let you know as soon as i know.
thanks
I will post any information I get, as soon as I get it.
If we can get a better price buying them together than it's all good.
If not we can go the other route of buying the emblems and sending them out to the chromer ourselves.

ok for the pair!! front A and rear A it will be $126.27 +tax.
IT takes 10 days to get done.
So it's about $10.41 for Tax, then whatever the shipping is to your particular destination.
It is time to seperate the boys from the MEN.
I will be ordering mine in the next week or so.
If you want a pair CONFIRM now!

No limit on the order. I will be off until Tuesday so if you need to get these going you can talk to my MANAGER JIM STREETER.
He knows about this deal...thanks again acura
parts.
It would probably be easier for each of us to call Weir Canyon Direct and order it.
This way you don't have to send your money to guy in Cali you don't even know.
And some of you can Charge it if need be.
I will call and tell Steve that those of us that are still interested will be calling him to place our order.
He can wait till he gets a few orders together then send them to get done.
Some Feeedback would be greatly appreciated!

Especially on the other colors.

I'm out in Chino Hills, CA.
To be honest I have never put one on before either.
But I'd be glad to give you hand. (No need to pay me.)
Maybe you can come down once I get mine, cuz i am gonna change out the front emblem too.
Maybe we can get Trance to give us some pointers on how he did his.

The rear emblem is pretty easy. I took some dental floss and kinda separated the emblem from the car just enough so I can get my fingers behind it and pull on it. You will notice that the rear emblem has two plastic guide pins. They dont lock the emblem in or anything, the only purpose they serve is to guide the emblem and keep it straight. Once you peel the emblem off it will leave a bit of glue residue. I just took some isopropyl (sp) alchohol to it and it came right off. Thats really the only time consuming part to the project. Once you get the glue off its as easy as sticking the new one on.
Now the front one I have not done yet, I will get with Ron and have him post the break down of the grill so you guys can see how it comes apart. I think this one is a little harder.

Wish I would have payed more attention to the manual on the back-side....cause I removed the entire inside trim of the trunk-lid to find out that there was no clip on the back of that dang thing and it was just friction holding it there on the guide pins! It was just REALLY on there! As Trancemission mentions...heat and dental floss do the trick on the back side....and work from the bottom up as the bottom will pop out enough to get something under it to lift from there. All my emblems came off and could be reused....so they shouldnt bend on you or break.
Bottom line....front emblem.....five 7mm bolts across back center of cross bar to remove silver cross bar and two screws after that that hold emblem to center section. Thats it. Getting to them is the hard part! As I say.....from the top side and from below...you can get em all without bumper removal! My shop manual is at home.....but will get schematic for you if you feel you need it.

All you have to do is to remove the plastic cover under the hood above the grille, and then I think you can reach in and remove the two screws and remove the emblem. If I'm wrong, someone let me know please.
