Car Forum / Acura Cars / April 2007Why Re-badge ?
Why would some people re-badge an Acura to Honda ????? I mean what is the "logic" in these peoples brain to cause them to go thru the trouble of seeking out Honda badges, buy them, take off Acura ones, stick on Honda one.... > Why would some people re-badge an Acura to Honda ????? > > I mean what is the "logic" in these peoples brain to cause them to go > thru the trouble of > seeking out Honda badges, buy them, take off Acura ones, stick on > Honda one.... It's just an effort to be "different". Since Acura models are sold in most other parts of the world as Hondas, swapping badges is also a way of pretending to others that you've got a foreign model, which I guess is supposed to be a status symbol.

Is there even an "Acura" namebrand in Japan?

Yep. Besides Canada/US, it's the only other place on earth where the "Acura" brand is sold. SignatureTegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ "Tegger" > Yep.

They aren't "buying" them,either;I had the "ACURA" name and badge peeled off my Integra by thieves,but the first to go was the VTEC tag. The cost was $25 and $45 for new ones. I filled in the holes and like that better. I hate chrome badges;they are a PITA to wax around.

LOL, you think they put the Acura badges on an Civic or something ? >LOL, you think they put the Acura badges on an Civic or something ? I think you wear it on a chain around your neck, then get two more of them and make earings for your girlfriend. >>LOL, you think they put the Acura badges on an Civic or something ? > > I think you wear it on a chain around your neck, then get two more of > them and make earings for your girlfriend. I've already had an entire car or two that were like they were on a chain around my neck <8^P >> Why would some people re-badge an Acura to Honda ????? >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > They aren't "buying" them,either;I had the "ACURA" name and badge > peeled off my Integra by thieves, I lost my front Acura logo a few years ago. The bastard tried to knife the rear one off first, but all he managed to do was scratch the paint. He scratched up the paint on the hood too, but managed to get the logo off. a.shole. It was $50 Cdn for a new one. SignatureTegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ > I hate chrome badges;they are a PITA to wax around. I wax the chrome badges. They come out nice and shiny after you buff them. Are you not supposed to wax chrome? >> I hate chrome badges;they are a PITA to wax around. > > I wax the chrome badges.

PITA,and I don't need any stinking badges or tags. IMO,they detract from the appearance. SignatureJim Yanik jyanik at kua.net BTW, it seems to me most of these people are kids, like under 20 I'd be surprised to hear people over like 30 still doing this uh mod > Why would some people re-badge an Acura to Honda ????? who knows. maybe they think the Honda logo looks better than Acura? I do. |
