Oh I hear ya - to each his own around here. If I were to debadge I would leave the center one..... I believe it is held on by two screws or something.

At any rate it would leave two holes....

ya, I noticed those driving behind a 07 TL this morning on the highway. Had alot of time to stare at the rear of the car. and looked at the tail lights, didn't like the stock 07, and then thought the lettering was wacky.

I am hooked! I will debadge my 07 ASM TL-S tomorrow morning! Is the best way to heat up with hair dryer and then use dental floss? Should I use mint or plain, waxed or unwaxed?

I think its a nice little car, but go to a College and you will see chicks all over driving them. Men don't look right in them. Just like Volks Bugs, its a chick car. Why not spend a few more $$$ and get a 07 Si. My nephew has a new 07 2dr Si, and now my neighbor just got a 4dr 07 Si ralley red. Last night his buddy came over with his new black 4dr Si. WOW Honda's and Acura's all around me

I just went out and debadged 07 TL-S I used 4# test fishing like, and rubbed off the glue with my thumb in 10 min. The car was all wet with dew and the glue just rolled right off. It looks GREAT Now when you look at the back you see only the Acura "A", and instead of looking at the ACURA and TL TYPE-S Emblems, your attention is more on the spoiler, tail lights, and those awesome 4 outlet SS pipes WOW

I think I'd love to see what a full debadge looks like, even the "A" emblem. My body shop guy surely could handle the two little holes, so I've really been thinking about it.

I just did mine with dental floss (non-waxed), hair dryer and goo-gone.

After reading this, fishing line would be better, dental floss breaks pretty easily and I ended up using half the package.

But I didn't end up with the ghost image leftover like others have said. I had scratch-x on hand just in case.

Damn...that looks pretty slick! I might do that. I can do it first with a black chrome badge, that way my holes will be filled! Way to go Steve! You can chop my pics anyday as long as you don't make them that "other color"!
