Opinions

I wanted to get your guys opinions on my emblem on my front grill. I took it off and just replaced it with a black circle where it use to be. It kind of bothers me having a black spot in the middle of the grill. Would it be a good idea to get an emblem to just put on top of the mess grill? Kinda of like how the 98-99 emblem is painted black.


This is getting another emblem like the black one and just putting it on the grill






or just leave how it is?

the A on the 2nd pic looks real good on the car. but i like the blacked out look too. up to you to figure out if it will fit your overall theme now and down the road.

you've got a great theme going on with the black and white already - you've got the black upper and lower grilles, the smoked corner lenses, so your next step may be to black out your headlights and keep the blacked out emblem - or even better, convert to a 97 grille and hollow it out. that would look incredible in my opinion.
either way your front end looks pro - keep it up!!!

To what pjosh said, I'd keep the white and black theme goin strong, if you're blackhousing, you should smoke your corners like i did

Headlights, sorry I will whore a pic, cuz I think it would look incredible on your white/black theme, it's the one thing I always wished klepto did was smoke his upper and lower corners. For his black and white theme

You could always paint the emblem white to keep the black and white theme.

yeah leave the center emblem like it is in stock form

IMO all blacked out grill just doesn't looked right on our cars...like there's a huge unfinished hole in the middle of the front end and it looks like someone just stole something

even with the ebay grills, if it were me I'd put the stock acura emblem 'floating' in the middle or at least an 'acura' badge on the left or right side
