Sedans: Show me your "Acura", "A" & "Legend" Rear badges, (please)

R.dub · 01-19-07, 08:12 PM

My 94 GS is in the body shop right now and I would like to see what your rear badges look like before I decide keep the OEM badge look.

Also, what is the factory OEM look for a 94 GS?
Mine has "Acura" on the top left of the back deck lid, "A" logo & "L E G E N D" centered over the key hole on the back of the deck lid.

Before they put back my old badges / emblems on the car, I wanted to see what you have done to your Legend sedan for inspiration. Please help with any ideas and/or photos!

I've seen shaved with no badges; seen just the "A" in the center; seen the "Legend" letters centered...

Has anyone used the "A C U R A" emblems from a CL / TL, etc, and centered that on the rear of the car?

Any other ideas?

I need this to happen fast since my car comes out of the shop next week!

Thanks in advance for ANY input and photos!

FYI -If your car says Legend on the upper right of the Trunk lid, you already have had that stuff replaced or have another trunk lid off of an older Legend. Good luck with that.
Here's a stock GS rear...

I used the G1 coupe (legend) emblems and plan to use the cl (acura) emblems!

I'm taking the emblems off cause i plan to wetsand and buff the car here soon!

ptan1968 · 01-19-07, 10:38 PM

Yup, mine is exactly the same as kyoso23. It sounds like a good idea to use A C U R A letters from cl or 3.2 tl set up. I haven't seen legend with this set up before, so why don't you try them on and let us see if possible. (Don't glue or stick A C U R A letters on permanent at the first time, just temporary to take pictures).

Yeah it is. Here's some unmodified badges/lettering;

Yeah... telefonic's looks a lot better. The others are definitely too close together.

if you buy the emblems from an Acura dealer they come with a foam spacer to make placing the letters easier.

L3GDKANG, I have the 'EGEND' in th G1 font, they're all yours if you want them... including the 'N'

Thanks for the photos! After further inspection of a rear photo of my car, mine is exactly like Telafonic's with the "A" & "L E G E N D" in the center and "ACURA" on the left all are chrome with black... Keep the photos coming & THANKS!

Thats our old sedans, a little dramatic of an angle, yes, but still serves the purpose.

On the pic that Kyoso's posted, the LEGEND letters are too close to each other.
Make sure they put the lettering in their original location and mark it before they glue them in. Learn from my mistakes and many others because I see them so often.

Here's what Im talking about.

thats why you gotta get that foam guide for when you put the letters back on the trunk
