Post BLACK CHROME EMBLEM ON SILVER TL-S

Does anyone with a Silver Color TL, have the Black Chrome Emblem. I think this would look great on the Type S or any Silver TL, since it brings a contrasting color, since the standard emblem is nice, but is hard to see at times. Please advise your comments if it's worth going to the factory black chrome embleming, especially for the read trunk of the car.

Thanks.

acuraguynj, I have the black chrome emblems on my Gold TL. To the average person... they don't know the difference. But when you compare it side-by-side with a car with chrome ones then you can see it. On a silver car, my brother-in-law has an ES 300 with black chrome emblems, it stands out! It's a matter of how much is it worth? I like it.

Are they going to offer this on the TL/TLS? I know they never offered it for the new CLS.... I hope they do, that would be pretty frickin' sweet!!

I've seen the black chrome on a black TL and liked it - I should mention that the grill is not chromed at all. The one I saw was just painted over the chrome with some flat/satin black paint. It already had a scratch and the chrome was showing through - tacky.

I think it would look tight but I'm not getting it because too much stuff gets stolen here.
