Wow! You may be onto something there. Makes the beak less obtrusive for sure. Wonder how that treatment would look on an '06?

Body color, do it. I saw a TL painted body color when I picked up my RL a few months ago and it looked so much better.

Don't forget to but a clear bra on after the paint job!

On the car, that is...

Just the beak black. Leave the surround and the logo chrome.
Is this photoshop or actual paint?

I'm thinking anything gray dark gray would work better than bright silver. Body color seems lame to me. Maybe carbon fiber beak they got on ebay for TSX?
