Chrome Grill... any experience with this?

Did anyone ever had an interaction with an ABS plastic chrome strip add on to their vehicle? How did it come out?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ACURA...1%7C240%3A1318

The look after the chrome strip looks very appealing to me . But I am still debating whether I want to get it or not.

Any input is appreciated Thanks a bunch!

Hmmm.....

I would like it, but for the fact that the strip is the only chrome on the car other than the door handles....

Id like to see another clean pic head on and from the side before id put it on....see if it looks out of place or if it goes

you can buy this exact stuff at Canadian tire (or your auto parts equivalent) for dirt cheap. Its sold as "chrome fender trim strips" or something like that, you just heat up the glue and it wraps around the stock grille slits. At least thats what it looks like, you're just paying $20 to have them pre-cut it for you.

I would suggest doing what I did, and have that silver plastic grill piece color matched to your car, I have a black RDX and it looks 100x better. The silver piece looks junky, and if you color match that piece your Acura symbol will stand out much more

You can get chrome door edge-guards for like $3 at a parts store, trim them to fit and just press them on. I did that to the lower grilles on my TL.
