It's one solid piece of vinyl. I did it as part of a swap, so before putting the black emblem on, you just heat up the vinyl for a minute under a hair dryer and peel it off in one piece. It is sooo easy because there is a ridge there so you can slide your fingernail under it without issue.Great shot! I was planning on doing this before I even leave the lot maybe.You just simply peel back the 3 black vinyl pieces to expose the color, correct? It reminds me of the Mercedes logo.
I planned on the dealer installing front & rear black emblems - it sounds like I need to remove the vinyl first before they install it.It's one solid piece of vinyl.

If you aren't swapping, then you would have to carefully cut around the emblem then try to pick it off, going to be a lot harder. I have no idea if you can do this and put your chrome back though, I gave up and snapped it to pieces to get it off, that was by far the hardest part.
Sorry but not sorry... That was me.And go figure, an LCM showed up at the other dealer near me & I'm trying to snatch it before mine arrives, but so far spoken for so I'm just the next guy in line IF they back out. So alright, does anyone on here have a deposit down on an LCM at Mungenast St Louis? Cmon, let's work something out.![]()
How was the drive home?Sorry but not sorry... That was me.Picked it up and drove 12 hrs home from St Louis to CO yesterday.
I guess I lied, an ITS at MSRP with no accessory add-on was too hard to pass up instead of waiting for the right F36 440i GC.
Highly recommend Mungenast St Louis Acura. I did pretty much everything over the phone/online. My sales guy picked me up at the airport in the car and I was in and out of the dealership in ~30 min.

Just posted my drive impressions here https://www.integraforums.com/forum/threads/long-er-term-impressions.51231/post-836874.How was the drive home?
I'm loving mine you can tell by my average MPG![]()
Yea definitely can tell they are top notch. Didn't have a chance to tour the facility but saw what they have in the back of the showroom. An NA1 NSX and NC1 NSX, sitting next to a S600 roadster and a Cub scooter. You can tell they care about the history and the brand. Wouldn't hesitate to do business with them again even if I have to drive 800 miles home.Better thank them again bc I even offered some extra money!Fortunately mine should be here Tuesday, but I was tired of waiting.
They are a top notch dealership, as I'm sure you could tell if you had time to take a tour - but if you're out of state it's not like you need them for service & loaner cars.![]()
100%. We only have 2 dealers in town, both are enthusiast minded with some interesting history & cool cars in their showroom, but Mungenast is like the other one on steroids.Yea definitely can tell they are top notch.

Jack was my salesman. It would be an interesting look for LCM with copper wheels but the $2k for it doesn't make sense to me since they are the same wheels just different color. I would rather invest in a set of 18" forged wheels with good all-seasons on them.100%.

I was actually there trying to snap pics of yours before you flew in bc the salesman told me they were putting the copper wheels on & we haven't really seen that publicly yet. Looks like he was wrong anyway. Lol
I agree. I'm going the same route also - it shouldn't be that much money for just a simple color change. If they were forged & could maybe order different specs, I'd even pay more for them though. So I plan on going 18" Apex as well.Jack was my salesman.

Every color looks much better on the ITS. I am not just saying that because I have one, LOL. Seriously though, when I checked out the standard Integra I was pretty meh on most of the colors, I was bummed. On the ITS, everything looks great, it's partially the extra gloss black, and some of it is the wider stance that allows for more interesting angles and shadows. These paints have so much flake that lighting plays a huge role in the appearance. Most of the colors will change significantly between the shade and direct sunlight.How's the ITS LCM look compared to the Aspec? lCM.?!
The profile itself looks pretty badass, too! Hopefully not heavy. What are they?I don't know, I'm not a fan of those wheels for 1 its the exact same wheel as stock, 2 I think the color is dull personally. Sure its different and it does contrast well with some colors but overall I think the color they used is blah. Something like this would have been![]()
