Color matched grill and license plate surround?

SO I've been looking around and I can't find anyone who has a 2010-2012 RDX with a color matched front grill (and/or license plate surround)

Anybody here did it? Any picture to show me what it looks like?

A friend of mine did a quick photoshop for me, and I am not quite sure about the front grill. He did a full body match and one with a charcoal grey top bar.. The photoshop shows flatblack but it would be color matched with clear...

The license plate surround is a no brainer I think.... looks so much better!

What do you think? I would obviously color match the fogs surrounds and next summer, flat black wheels.

I prefer the grey charcoal upper grill, and I wonder if it would be nice to have a dark grey license plate surround also...?

Looks pretty good! I'd consider doing the fog light bezel as well

This...or just plastidip the whole thing black so that the piece is a uniform color. It looks great.

I like the Charcoal grey Pic the best. You might want to photoshop characoal grey for the rear lic plate surround, fog bezel, and rims to see what it looks like. I would leave the front Acura logo in Chrome.

The more I think about it, it will need to be glossy black, not just palstidipped matte black.

plasti dip makes a glossifier too =) i opted out from doing it since matte looks better for my color IMO the nice thing about plasti dip is you can peel it off later..
