My new grill ....

Hey guys ......... I actuallty got the grill from ebay for $20 and had a friend paint it. I couldn't find anything nice aftermarket wise and saw someone from this forum paint his grill and thought it was HOT I think it's a nice simple mod and makes a nice difference in the look of the front

Thank you kindly ...... ummmmm looking good meaning the grill or ummmm little ole me juust kidding !! I'm in a good moood since i'll be off the next two days thus have a 4 day weekend yaaay !!

I've seen these hi temp stickers that i can apply on the calipers that says "Acura" ( almost like the Brembo on the hi end cars ? ) but i'm not sure if i should get the lettering in white or black ?? I'm leaning towards white ?

I havent seen an MDX's brakes before. If its a standard 2 piston design, I'm not so sure that you're lettering will fit and or look that hot. you can always try, tho.

and 4 day weekend ftw!!!

Hmmm ......... i guess i should take a look at the size of the calipers to see if any kind of stickers would fit ? I was thinking of something like the below ... white on red ? Or just simple Red without the stickers ..... i'm not sure if it'll look cheesy but i guess it depends on how the lettering on the stickers look ??

But of course ....... i dont think i'll do black since i prefer how the red stands out so much more !! I've had red calipers on two cars now so im partial to red.

Grille looks HOT! I hate how huge the OEM grill is on those and that really scales it down and makes it blend in. Should have been like that OEM!
