what the hell is wrong with people? Did they fuck up your paint when they took them? If I were you I would hunt ebay for the main "A" emblem and just leave it debadged. Clean up the goo with rubbing alcohol and rewax.

That sucks but its not worth it to mess with them over a $25 part, people are desparate and crazy. At least it wasn't something more valuable.

I was tongue-in-cheek humor. I'm not advocating using deadly force against someone messing with another's car. But I wouldn't lose sleep if something bad happened to someone doing something like that.

Exactly. Thieves are cowards. So if they, um, got hit by a gas truck at about 80 mph, no tears would be shed.

I say the de-badged look is a good one. As long as the idiots didn't screw up your paint or dent anything.

actually it did mess up my paint, the parts where the emblems were took the clear coat clean off and i am thinking to replace it with the honda inspire emblems cause i doubt any one who isn't a true acura fan will steal those....and if i see any tl-p with a tl-s emblem i am gonna look at tem as suspect

wait, read that real quick before. You actually saw them doing it? I would have killed them.

Sucks that paint is messed up. Did you clean it really well? I took them off my 05 TL after a few months of having it and thought the clear was messed up too. After some polishing I found it was a bit of hazing and a ghost effect if you will. Can't tell now
