IMO, the gold kit looks kinda bad on the WDP. I would go for black emblems instead. I think you can paint them, just need to prepare them first. I have no experience in this, but I think there are instructions floating around somewhere. Something about sanding or the sort.

^ That would probably look tacky! I'll give you 10$ for your silver emblems!

I dont think gold will look bad at all the WDP one of the best cars to put it on!

I bought the Acura Gold emblems but decided not to put it on. I doesn't look good on WDP. Black chrome will look super!!

I totally agree. Don't go for the gold unless you're 55+ years old

Well, I'd admit, it will look good ONLY if you replace the 2x 'A' emblems in the fron and in the back and left everything else chrome.

I have gold emblems on my TL...I wasnt a big fan of them at first, but luckily they've grown on me and I started to like em, cuz I would be too lazy to take em off and find replacements.

i agree with the others that said to get the black ones(i love em). if not, keep the chrome ones or just debadge the car. i honestly thing the gold ones are ugly on any color car. plus theres chrome trim on the car already (window trim, exhaust tips, door handles and the trim around the grille.)
