    If you bought your car as an Acura...it's an Acura. Not a Honda. It's inane to badge your car what it isn't. Later, QD.

    Its much better than knockoff unpainted body kits. Its still OEM so it'll look tasteful but I'd spend my money elsewhere.

    I know what you mean, if it rolled off the lot as an Acura, it is indeed an Acura. If you try to register it as a Honda, you will get WTF'd out of the DMV.


    However, does it really count if the company was created for America? The Acura RSX is indeed a Honda Integra; look at parts on the car and they all say "Honda" or "Honda Motor Co". The vin stickers have the Honda logo patterned on them; so is it that far of a stretch, Stretch?

    When you go to your local Acura dealership, you buy an Acura NSX. You can't buy a Honda NSX. Later, QD.

    it really doesnt matter to me if its a clean car lets say you have a teg like lil paki's for instance her car has a full jdm conversion on it minus the rhd i see no problem with swapping out her A badges for some honda ones with some nice paint and a banging interior car would be the shit but if your talking about some dude that has autozones finest parts on his 95 intrepid with a vtec badge and gt r emeblems on the back then yeah thats rice imo just my two cents on it

    depends on the car. If they shop at autozone/pepboys then Rice. Honda-acura... I am not so much into Jap cars so whatever.

    you will NEVER see a ford badge on my volvo though. If you do, then shoot the motha fucker driving it cause he stole it from me!

    putting a Honda emblem on a USDM Integra is no different than the dumbass who put a GT-R emblem on his mustang and said it was a rotary.

    But isn't it a Honda NSX? Just like the Toyota Altezza is the Lexus IS300,and the GS300 is the Aristo. It is, at the core, the exact same car (of course, some models have some differences...little more power, another engine option). Your almost......correcting it?

    You mean the SVT Mustang Cobra R? No GT in the name.

    And sorry dude, but your giving him more fuel with that incoherent, improperly capitalized "statement".

    Typically, I don't like it. Most of the time, when you see people with their cars rebadged, they're rocking a stock ass ride with euros (figuratively, of course). After I get my car running good, and get my bumpers and skirts put on, I thought about buying UK CTR badges for it, since at that point it would be the EXACT same car. I guess it depends on the car and the cleanliness, but generally

    I'd certainly hope that this isn't pointed at me lmao, seeing as how the only exterior mods on my car aside from the wheels and tint is just a cobra rear bumper and some clear corner headlights which were bought simply because the old ones had faded so bad and i was given a good deal on them.

    Anyways, I see the ones you are referring to and luckily they are usually v6 mustangs, and not GT's (also don't understand what the point of driving a v6 mustang is, but eh whatever floats there boat), but anyways, you can't bunch us all together as "you mustang guys" just like I don't call import drivers "ricers", none of me nor the other "mustang guys" i associate with, drive anything similar to what you were describing lol. But eh, all I can say is dumbasses are in every genre.

    IMO.... any car with exterior "asthetic" mods should have some go or else the show is rice. Cars are made to drive.... not to keep as displays... that's why people paint pictures.

    I think we can all agree we are talking about cars that are tastefully done and then the badging swapped.....I know that doesn't change any votes but I don't think it's "Nice" on a 1993 Integra LS with a unpainted rice kit and dual huge exhaust.

    I dont. The only time Ill ever accept it is if the model is straight imported from Japan

    I think one you swap all the badges, not keep some USDM and some JDM. And if you go with JDM badges, I would like to see the person try to at least add authentic JDM parts to the car, short of an actual RHD conversion.

    Concerning Lexus, Lexus has been Lexus everywhere BUT Japan pre summer 2005. Effective with the new 2006 GS, It is now a Lexus GS in Japan as Lexus has debuted in Japan. There is no more Aristo, Altezza, Soarer, Celsior, Harrier, Wingdom....
