Carbon Fiber Emblems Mod
Bought these carbon fiber "A" emblems off of eBay last week.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PAIR-...QQcmdZViewItem
I was kind of skeptical about them but when I got them I was really impressed with the quality. They are real carbon fiber and have a nice deep clear coat on them. They are both a little smaller than the CL's "A" emblems, but I personally like them a little smaller. I ended up modifying the front grill to make the front one work. I cut out the A of the stock emblem, sanded it smooth, plastic bonded the bezel to the grill insert, painted them both satin black and put the new carbon emblem on. I might end up painting the bottom air inlets satin black eventually to match better. Some might think this is rice, but what ever.
I like it and I think it'll look tight with the 18" Flik Wasp black center/polished lip rims I have coming next week. Let me know what you guys think.

Front doesn't look bad, but the rear looks kinda ehh...
Maybe de-badge the rear so there's not so much going on?
and this gives you an excuse to buy more carbon fiber parts

not sure how i feel about them the one in the front looks pretty good, but the rear does look a little out of place. I think they look better on integras (that's why these emblems are smaller than the CL emblems)

Wow, so I guess everyone thinks the stock emblems on the back suck, huh? I can see it looking nice without the "3.2 CL Type S" emblem. Maybe I'll pull out the heatgun when I get home. Glad everyone likes the front grill, though.

Why follow the masses? I like the "A C U R A" badge. It's not always a bad thing to be different.

I actually wouldn't mind emblem + acura lettering.
The emblem just doesn't match the letters in this case. looks a bit awkward.
