Missing Turbo Badge, But Wait! There's More!

[RallyeRed]

Okay, so personally, I think Honda did this car a dis-service by not putting any kind of turbo badging on the first USDM turbo Honda ever.

So, I've attempted to put one on the car that looks tasteful and not tacked on. Unfortunately, anything on the side skirts just bothered me after awhile, it looks too tacked on.

So I went searching for a badge on ebay for the back and I came across something awesome. Apparently, Acura makes a Turbo RDX and they made an emblem for it. So naturally, I thought this would be perfect, and it is:

Added pic showing the touring badge as well:

What do you guys think?

I like it, especially because it's OEM Honda and belongs, not tacked on IMO.

How much $ do those go for?

I got mine on Amazon for $16. I looked it up by the part number. I'll add the info to the original post.

Looks really good, the text angle is dead on.

Thanks! I'm a perfectionist so it had to be for me to like it lol

Looks great, OP! I added the Turbo decals on the side skirts, and I've been wanting to put something on the trunk too.. I was contemplating on a "1.5T" badge, but I figured that it might look a bit tacky. This Turbo badge is spot on and looks like it was installed from the factory! Too bad no Prime shipping though

Edit: Just picked up the badge from that Amazon link. Thanks for the recommendation, @RallyeRed!

Are the holes in the r and the b filled in?

Yep. That's how you know they are the OEM Acura emblem. The cheap Chinese ripoffs do not have the holes filled in.

Ahh ok. I want to buy a turbo badge but I'm gonna end up plastidipping it so I didn't know if this would be an issue. Thanks Op!

RalleyRed, is that a stick-on emblem?

Yes, it uses the good 3M double sided adhesive.

I posted about this in another thread and showed multiple possibilities using the RDX Turbo badge. I picked it up from a local Acura dealer through Acura estore for $14.

Didn't even think about going to an Acura dealer to get the badge.. I'm too impatient to wait for my order through Amazon LOL.
