Why swap to the gloss black rear emblem?

The rear emblem is one of the first details people notice on your Integra. The genuine Acura gloss black emblem (part number 08F20-3S5-200A) replaces the factory badge with a darker, more aggressive look that complements the Integra's styling. It's a direct factory replacement, so fitment is guaranteed for all 2023+ Integra models, including RHD and international variants.

Beyond appearance, this is a genuine Acura part, so you get OEM quality and durability. If attention to detail matters to you, this simple upgrade makes a noticeable difference.

What you're installing

How to install the rear emblem

The emblem attaches with adhesive backing. The catalog does not specify a removal method or cure time, so follow general best practices for adhesive removal and installation. Work in a warm, clean environment and take your time to align the badge correctly.

  1. Prepare the surface: Clean the rear area thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol to remove any wax, dirt, or oils. Let it dry completely.
  2. Remove the old emblem (if applicable): Use a plastic trim tool or fishing line to carefully pry off the old badge. Heat may help soften the adhesive, but avoid excessive heat that could damage paint.
  3. Test-fit the new emblem: Before peeling the adhesive backing, position the new gloss black emblem on the car to ensure proper alignment. Use painter's tape to mark reference points.
  4. Apply the new emblem: Peel the backing and press the emblem firmly into place. Apply steady pressure for several seconds to ensure good adhesion.
  5. Final check: Inspect alignment and adhesion. Avoid washing the car for a short period to allow the adhesive to fully bond.

Caring for your gloss black emblem

To keep the gloss black finish looking its best, wash it gently with car shampoo and a soft microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive polishes or waxes that could dull the surface. When drying, use a microfiber towel to prevent scratches. The emblem is durable, but like any painted surface, it benefits from gentle care.

What the catalog doesn't tell you

The supplied information does not include a removal procedure or adhesive cure time. If you're unsure about removing the old badge, consult a professional installer. Also, while the emblem fits all 2023+ Integra models, the catalog does not specify if it's compatible with earlier generations. Stick to the confirmed fitment.
