Black Grille

After a week of tweaking and repainting I finally have it where I want it. Let me know what you think. I originally had my body shop paint the entire grille satin black, but I did not like how flat it was compared to the Crystal Black Pearl. So I had them remove the beak and paint that Crystal Black Pearl and voila, I think I have a winner. To me it is the same contrast as stock, just in black. A satin finish around the grille and the beak is glossy. I just can't wait until is above 0deg so I can wash her up and make her real pretty...

Looks great. I think a black chrome finish would look good too, anyone done that? Kinda like the black chrome option Acura had for the TL grill and trunk piece.

I don't think Acura could have made the stock grill/front piece any gaudier, the plasticky finish is cheap, the color is dull, and the look overpowers any good design the front has. If you're gonna make something so prominent, at least give it some nice finish or treatments. I guess Acura wanted a statement grill and I guess they got it.
