i noticed that a lot of acura owners (integra) have their A badge upside down to say V. why is that? someone enlighten me.

on a side note, i have pictures of the new Ferrari FX/F140 on my site. Dieselstation.com

 

I heard one time that the upside down A is supposed to be like an "extreme H" or something stupid like that. I just pulled mine off and put on real H emblems.

 

upside down "A" emblem is like chrome fender trim. both deserve a

 

actually some people flip their acura A upside down to a V because V is the first letter of Vietnamese... i know that because some of my cousins do it... either than that i dunno why else... i prefer no emblems at all... looks more clean....

 

Its does the job of a front spoiler. The wind hits the V and pushes your car down and blows the wind to the side... More down force and less wind resistance!

All I know is its dumb...

 

I thought people did it because it kinda looks like a fox head or something like that(at least to me it does). I guess just to look "cool"

 

alright alright alright... there's many reasons for this.

First, yes, Vietnamese do this becuase it looks like a V.

Other better reason (not that I justify it or anything): The A badge was originally created to have a "H" looking element to it, becuase of it's Honda association. Ever notice how the top half of the Honda H is larger than the bottom ( ) ? Well, in Japan this has become a fad-- to turn the upsidedown to make it look more similar to a Honda emblem. We have JDM style, and they like their USDM style. I wouldn't be suprised to see people doing the USDM front end conversion out there, or trying to find a '94 JDM integra w/ the 4 rounds, badging it as an Acura. Odd.

Personally, to me, it looks like some butt head was just hella stupid and put that sucker on upsidedown. But to people in Japan, and other riceboys around here, they like to continue the Honda tradition and make their look like a Honda badge... well sorta.

 

nice plug for your site....how many boards ya gonna post these ferrari pics on?

holy f**king ****. the ferrari f140 looks awesome.
Damn, that is one low *** car--the person on his knees is still taller than the car.

 

awwwww....for once...i agree with you.....MR CLEAN..come clean my car..hhahahah

 

V for VTEC ............. Upside down

 

hey if i was in japan and had a integra, i would want he usdm front end, because dual rounds are tight. but not over here in usa, the straight lights on the jspec are tight. go figure, fads and the few.

 

Whether anyone knows this or not, the Acura emblem doubles as two things:

1) 'A' For Acura. Obvious
2) The 'A' actually a drawing compass

 

wow...thanks professor acura! j/k where'd you find that out?

 

CuZ ItZ dA HaaWT StuNNa-TeCH **** yO!
I honestly think it is how homosexuals identify each other on the road..."OOh, another upside down "A", another butt-buddy...Weee!"
