Question Gold emblems on silver

Anyone have any comments on getting the gold emblems on a Satin Silver TL ?

Would this look totally stupid?

I was thinking it would look bad, but having never seen it, I wanted to check opinions... It is weird how different things can look on cars than you would expect.

I've seen the gold on green as well as red and black, and it looked good on all of them.

If they only had the green available with black interior in the TL-S !!! I don't like the parchment interior.

I really wish they would offer more colors I like the black, but my wife does not. Green with black interior would be my next choice, but we'll prolly settle for Silver/black.

Do they have the black chrome emblems at the dealers? The acura website doesn't show them as options.

thanks,
-Randy

I dont think it would look too bad. I think the Mugen TL has gold badges. However, u may have to get gold-tip xhaust and get rid of the chrome door handles.

Not a bad idea...

In my own opinion, they do not look good!!! I mean if you had gold rims you would be a pimp with the gold trim kit... the black chrome is too gangsta for television ...Shyne...

Yes they do. Gold is alot more popular that is why they displayed it. Black is the 'black sheep' pardon my pun, however they cost the same. It will look extremely good on silver. I have seen 2 so far and they looked great!!

Thanks! I'll check out the black chrome.

The gold/black emblems are dealer add-on, right?

If so, do they let you keep the old silver ones that originally come on the car?

I could think of some cool things to do with the spare emblems

If you have the dealer install the black chrome emblems make sure you tell them you want the old ones. It wouldnt hurt to ask this question before you buy from them.
I would recommend buying them from AutoCarParts.com and support the site. Snook has them listed at $79.92 plus shipping. Im sure the dealer will charge more.

How about no emblems??? well no lettering, at least.

I'm considering the black... but I can think of better ways to waste my money.

Gold emblems on silver looks good to me. I have a 1992 Acura Legend. The color is champagne but is really silver. My gold emblems make it look awesome. I think they would make your car look a lot better. As for the people who disagree with me, they must have never seen a silver acura with gold emblems.

EEEEEWWWWWW!!!

If you put gold emblems on a silver TL, you may be banned from this web site.

Serously though, the black emblems look pretty good on the silver TL, but I'd spend you money on something else instead 'cause I think the chrome emblems look great
