Don't do it for the 3G. No 3G TL's were made for the Japanese market.

2nd gen TL's are called Honda Inspire in japan thats why they have different emblems. the tl is only made int he USA and canada so there is no other name for it. unless if you get some emblems for the name TL lol... that would just look weird though

Juriza, this is not a good idea. You've got an Acura-just stay with that.

The TL on the otherhand, was only made in NA, so no JDM.

All other acuras before this were made as Hondas then rebadged as Acuras. Your TL exists in no other way, as any other make period (ie Honda overseas counterpart) This is the ONLY car made by ACURA that when released, made enthusiasts FROM JAPAN EXPORTthe TL, from the U.S. ports of Long Beach or SF.

Fast forward 6 years. Now the TL can be found in other parts of the world like China & Mexico, as an ACURA.

Most people never understood the concept that ACURA is and always will be the first JAPANESE luxury brand to be sold in the US as early as 1986. Lexus came later in 89.


So people have pride in your ACURA!

USDM BETCHES! > JDM

I can see if you want to put it on your Acura RSX, or Integra... but not 3G TL

Oh, and the TSX
and the NSX
and... well you get the idea. You had to ask to put a Honda badge on the only car not sold as a Honda.
Also, Acura is the luxury brand.
