Yea - some people have done it. It looks tacky IMHO.

Now if it was an actual Type-S with some performance improvements, that's a different story.

i would think "it's not a Type S"

there is nothing worse than putting a badge on a car that doesnt belong..

in fact, i admire people who have cars like an E63 or M5 , and take the badge off

LOLOLOLOL at 4G type-s.

Why?

Sometimes that will be done just to not invoke jealousy derived vandalism or someone going to go for a joy ride.

Or prevent scam-bags stealing the precious badges and damaged the paint finish in the process.

Good point!

AZN, please don't do it. If it ain't a Type S, it doesn't need a badge...

For the love of jeebus please don't vandalize your car with a badge that doesn't belong on there. If you're gonna go all out, put on a Type R badge instead jk!

My vote is for choice B, badgeless!

Teddybear

if ur gonna do that, it wont be much different than the ricer that sticks "Type R" badges all over his base model civic/teggy/accord/etc.

my vote is also, dont do it!

if i ever have nice stickers i dont wanna stick on my car, i stick em on my computer case, or my guitar case instead. that way i still get to see the nice stickerl, put it to use... and i wont draw negative attn to my car lol

nanos

agree with everyone here...don't do it! its like when people put AMG badges on non-AMG mercedes...lame

I know this is probably going to get a lot of heat from the 3g guys and previous type s owners but isn't the new sh-awd trying to take the place of the old type s model. It has a larger displacement engine and upgraded performance from the base model. Ya it lacks some goodies, brembo brakes being one that sticks out in my mind. I guess what im trying to say is acura could have badged the sh-awd as the type s and everyone would have accepted it but instead they came up with a lame alternative. I took if off because i figure that if someone can't recognize it is the sh-awd just from looking at they dont know enough about cars to appreciate it anyway. Maybe you could get a badge that say like a type s and impress the highschool kids.

There was/is a member here with a awd CBP 4G that has a type-s badge. IMO it looks like shit and is laughable.


Recognize it? It's a TL not a Ferrari; the only normal cars I believe deserve that kind of recognition/admiration your implying have M, AMG, RS or V badges. Besides its a lot more fun having people be unable to recognize your car. I've had so many funny moments in my car because it's unrecognizable. Today two scrubby looking white guys (undercover cops), signal me to put my windows down, I put'em down and the first thing one says is, "waddup my nigga?"(i'm Hispanic by the way). I bursted into laughter and answered their questions about the car. They were unsure if it was "the new type-s" and whether they all got that exhaust note.

Please don't do it. It's like the guys that put STi badges on regular WRX's.

AZN, I think it's a majority here. Putting a Type S badge on a 4G TL is just not the right thing to do.

jspagna1

The 4G doesn't have a TypeS so no go!

alienstudio

maybe the "sh-awd" badge having red letters on ''sh" would look nice

it's a no no

Mr Marco

Badges are tacky enough to begin with. People who re-badge a car as something it is not loose respect from the people that they desperately wanted in the first place.
