Acura RSX Rear Hatch Emblem for 02-06 RSX

Genuine Acura RSX Rear Hatch Emblem (75722-S6M-A01) - 2002-2006 RSX

The RSX badge on your hatch is one of those details that quietly ages. Twenty-plus years of sun, car washes, and weather eventually get to the chrome, and once it goes hazy, pits, or starts lifting at a corner, it makes the whole back of the car look tired no matter how good the paint is. This is the genuine Acura replacement, so you're putting the factory badge back rather than a reproduction that never quite matches.

When It's Worth Replacing

Chrome plating on plastic has a lifespan, and on a car this age most of them are at the end of it. The signs are consistent: the chrome goes cloudy and stops reflecting properly, small pits or bubbles appear in the plating, or an edge starts lifting where the adhesive has let go and dirt works its way underneath.

None of that polishes out. Once the plating is compromised the only real fix is a new emblem, and fortunately it's one of the least expensive things you can do to sharpen up an RSX.

Small Details Are What Make A Car Look Cared For

Here's the thing about a twenty-year-old car. You can have straight paint, clean wheels, and a tidy interior, and a faded peeling badge will still be what makes it read as neglected. The hatch emblem sits right at eye level for everyone behind you in traffic, so it gets more attention than almost anything else on the car.

Swapping it takes about fifteen minutes and costs very little. If you're working through the small stuff on your RSX, this belongs on the list.

Get The Genuine One

There are cheap reproduction RSX badges all over the internet, and they're the kind of thing that looks fine in a listing photo and wrong on the car. Chrome quality differs, proportions are often slightly off, and the plating hazes within a season or two, which means doing this again.

This is the actual Acura part, 75722-S6M-A01, with factory chrome and factory dimensions. It sits exactly where the original did and looks the way it's supposed to, which is the entire reason to replace a badge in the first place.

Pre-Applied Adhesive, Straightforward Install

The double-sided tape comes pre-applied, so there's nothing to source and nothing to cut. The install itself is easy, but the prep is what separates a clean result from a mediocre one.

Get the old emblem off along with every bit of leftover adhesive, then clean the area thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol so the new tape bonds to paint rather than residue. Work on a warm day if you can, since adhesive grips far better above about 60 degrees. Take a moment to get your placement right before you commit, because you get one good shot at it. Press firmly and give it a day before washing the car.
