Type S badge for 3G TL

Hi fellow Acura members. I have an 05 SSM TL and recently placed 08 Type S wheels. I'm considering placing the Type S badge on my trunk just for the look. I'm not doing other mods. Trying to keep it more stock. I did my research and I know the TL emblem changed on the 07/08 model. I'd like to know if the Type S emblem fits next to the TL emblem on the 05 model? Do I need to redadge and replace a new TL badge plus the Type S one? Post some pics if you guys added this mod to your model pre 07/08. I'd appreciate any input please.
Thanks

You can place the Type-S badge next to your current TL badge, as you can see in this following picture the "TL" and "Type-S" badges are not connected. They are held on to the trunk with double sided adhesive.

I think you should get the 07-08 TL badge because the earlier ones are not going to look right. If I'm honest I wouldnt put the type-s badge on at all, its not a type-s.

Putting a Type-S badge on a base model because you have Type-s wheels?

No

Don't forget the Type-S tail lights :wink:

I remember when I was searching for a Type-S online and found a great deal but the seller changed everything to look like a Type-S from the base model. Then I saw the engine bay pic with the 3.2 logo

Are you going to get an ///M5 badge too? Might as well.

Lol I saw a girl a while back in a sub compact something that had V8 and 4x4 badges on it.

Actually thought it was kinda cute.... But only if you are a girl.

There's a guy here in my town that did this to his stock base TL.
You're only fooling the ignorant/old people who don't care. You'll look like 100% tool bag status to everyone, and in the worst case your car will get turned into an internet meme.
