I am still waiting for people to swap on a Corvette logo just to mess with people 
I've seen Lexus re-badged as Toyota quite a few times (IS > Altezza, SC > Soarer, LS > Crown)
Personally I find it correct, open up the hatch or open a door on a NSX and it say's
"Made by Honda Motor Co."
I do know in Japan a lot of Legend owners badge it as a RL and NSX go Acura style.
Also Honda's are generally superior to Acura's in terms of specifications and trim.

i hope you meant LS > Celsior
Yes, sorry always mix those up:biggrin:
because in essence, the NSX is a Honda. look at the stickers on your windows and windshield. the door jam plates. various engine stickers. the valve cover saying "Honda Motor Co.". etc. etc.
There aren't too many in the UK that switch to Acura, in all my years of owning NSXs, I've only seen a handful if that, who changed the badges.
I changed mine to Honda because thats what it is
Honda has a long history in Formula 1 and endurance, it is the same thing in motorcycle Grand Prix (Continental Circus and endurance), brand Acura is totally unknown in the world of motor sport
Honda is cooler, and speaks to the enthusiast in me. Acura is for the unwashed buffoons of North America who couldn't fathom a Japanese car costing as much as a beemer.
But I live in North America and not in the rest of the world.
Ha, I did the opposite. I had a huge H badge on the front and JDM tail lights with the giant H in the middle. I removed the H on the bumper and bought US tail lights.
I think it comes down to if you are a Honda fan, you want the H. I do not consider myself a real Honda fan per say but I do currently own 3 Acuras so I am voting for them with my checkbook.
I'd do it Because I'd Also do the type R steering wheel and I might as well do the emblems if te door sills and engine say Honda already
I am a fan of keeping things stock...and have retained the Acura branding on my NSX. But I can totally understand the appeal of switching everything over to Honda. Our cars directly resulted from Honda's Formula 1 program during their era of dominance. Many feel a great pride in owning a piece of that (and Senna's legacy for that matter), not just the Japanese.
If I wanted my car to look like a NSX-R, I would most definitely switch the logos.
If I bought an Acura Integra Type R, I would be VERY tempted to switch the round headlights to JDM as I think they look better...and, if I did that, I would definitely badge the car Honda.
Acura wasn't completely unknown in motorsport, but at the moment it is not even competing. I liked their run with the Realtime cars and with the Acura badged prototypes in ALMS, but, for the most part, when you think of racing, you think of Honda first.

But basically out side of marketing there isn't such a thing as Acura, I wouldn't be surprised to see Honda on there pay checks ether.
Acura is just branding/marketing a certain line-up of cars made by Honda. At the end of the day it's all personal preference over which badges you want to have on your car. Neither are wrong, really.
I have A badges B/C that is how my car was shipped from the manufacturer.
Lots of people just want their cars to be different from everyone else's.
From its beginning in 1986, cars have been sold under the Acura brand name in the United States and Canada. Cars have been sold as Acuras in Hong Kong since 1991.
Some years ago, Honda announced that they would be rolling out the Acura brand name in other markets around the world as well. Acura dealers started selling Acura branded cars in Mexico in 2004 and in China in 2006. There was a plan to sell Acura cars in Japan starting in 2008, but it was put on hold with the worldwide financial crisis that year.
Not true.

indeed HK cars where the first RHD acura's
Chinese spec Acura's even have unique features not found on USDM.
Acura is the only way I see them selling quickly and competitively here in western-europe (Legend, TL, MDX, etc)
And i'll make it my business to turn them back in to Honda's:biggrin:b lol....

I have had many Hondas in my life and still own several. I'm proud own a Honda and Acura means nothing to me. One of the reasons i bought a TSX over the TL is the TSX is made 100% in Japan. I believe the Hondas made in Japan last longer and are built better S2000, CRX, Del sol, Nsx and so on. I own a Honda NSX
