I dont wanan shave off my emblems but i was wondering can you make them black? i have a black tsx and i think it would be phat. It would be similar to the Camry SE emblem or this lexus is 300.

notice the third pic down in the corner the "IS300" is black.

Is that just paint or is there a harder/simpler way to do that.

THanks

 

black chrome? black chrome is nice, but dont know about pure black

 

black chrome would be tight, but how would you do that, would you take it to a body shop and just have them paint those emblems?

 

chrome is nickel metal electroplated onto another metal, it is not a paint. There are chrome paints, but they are really silver, do not last long, turn dull by touching them, and you cannot clear coat them.

But beyond that, I think black-chrome emblems would look really good, and I would go for a set!

edit:
just found this link about chroming plastic -

turns out its not really chrome, it's aluminum

 

A few sites sell lexus and toyota emblems, but does anyone know of an acura one.

This site says that it sells gold and black emblems, but im not sure if they actially have "A"s.

Still though how would i get the "ACURA" and the "TSX" black, im guessing that a bodyshop would be my best anwser?

 

the only black emblems that acura made were for the TL. they had a black eblem kit that you could buy for around 70 dollars on ebay. my roomate has them. it replaces all the emblems in the back

 

It was also available for the CL. They also had the front emblem and the inner and outer grill. I would do it if it were available on the TSX. I remember the cost being a bit higher but that is dealer cost

 

Damn, thats sux. ALthough if i could find a kit i guess the Acura and the A would be basically the same. But i gotta find something for the actual TSX badge.

Thanks for the help
