Tricky dealer changed emblem on my wheel
I went to an acura dealership to switch out el 42s' for Falken 512s' today. The service was supposed to be quick but it ended up taking 2 1/2 hours. When I went to check my tire pressure the center emblem on one wheel didn't look right. I examined the others and noticed the difference. The letter "A" on the right rear wheel was an old style chrome type unlike the black sportier style of the 2004 Tl. I left a message and would like to find how they will explain this one. Does this center emblem come off for someone to replace it? Could this wheel be from someone else's car? My car now feels like it always has a tendency to move to the right too.
