I say put your centercaps back on, put the acura emblem back on the front grille. and remove the S emblem on the trunk.

Check out ebay and www.acuraautomotiveparts.org for the emblem and center caps. I like the start, but I'd lose the Type S badge also

It appears you have an older (possibly integra) "A" on the back, just wondering how it looks and if you could get a better shot. Could be another option for some. I'd maybe try and do somthing with the hand painted silver rings on the cluster too.

A few minor things to change and you'll be in good shape. If you plan to keep the tinted front signal markers, maybe paint the headlight bezels black also.

Still waitin on the emblems to get in the mail. Just did the headlight black-out and eyelids, replaced the horrible hand painted rings with chrome ones, and switched out the dash lights for LEDs.

In the process of getting rid of all the chrome on the outside of the car...





Sorry for the crappy pics, the sun was setting fast!

Theyre scrathces...

The kid that had this car before me broke almost everthing, the clear plastic at the bottom of the gauges has chunks taken out of it. Im guessing they came from him taking the gauges out repeatedly.

My god there is little chance the new paint will match the old oxidized paint so i would ask if they'd buff the rest of the car and wax it or polish.

Those eyelids are not appealing to me, which is weird cuz my CL has eyelids. Otherwise looks like the paint came out nice
