i say keep the lettering and the A. i think having the word acura on there makes it classy... that's why i only took off the 3.2TL, thought that was too much...

why did you take off the spoiler? are you going mugen? aspec? or just didn't like having a spoiler? i love my OEM spoiler, but that's just personal preference

^ No, he took the A off while he was refilling the spoiler holes. He is asking if he should keep it off and refill those holes while he is at it. I would vote no. I think like jjashaa said, our trunks have a lot of space and that would look empty. I personally kept A C U R A, A and debadged 3.2TL.

I like it with it on there too.

side note: it amazes me how many acura, hell any make/model, owners leave that emblem on their cars that advertise where they bought it from. It kills me to see that stuff. I just want to go up myself & pull it off for 'em.

i say fill the holes. if you dislike the look, you can always put the emblem back on...just cut off the nubs and align it yourself.

i say take it off only because you said you will not put the "H". mine sits with nothing except the two small holes till i can come up with the money for the inspire conversion and i dont think it looks bad all gone if i would have known it would have taken me this long (its been at least 6 months) to get emblems i would have shaved the two small holes too. and you could use some 03 tails too changes the car so much IMO.

x2! I'd keep the A and skip the rest. I'd offer you my old letters for free, but I can only find the c and u so far.
