your NGM is still looking good since the last time I saw it in the 2G section (probably a couple years ago)

those wheels look terrible on the Accord and look even worse on the TL. My cousin has an Accord with just those same wheels

lots of body shops do that to naive customers...

its cheaper for them to buy the small 1 piece badge and they probably charge the same price..

see it on alot of older TL drivers around here.

most likely at one point got in a rear end collision

Thanks Costco!

The guy also kept the OEM tire size from the accord. i think it was 225/60/17. those tires actually raises the car.

The "TL" is definitely the 3rd gen badge, not sure bout the smaller acura badge.

your car looks great volly, 8th gen accord wheels suck.

my ngm turn sigs are holding up pretty good, a stone got kicked up while i was on the highway and put a nice big chip in my blacked out grill, the top piece on the hood. soo ill need to repaint it now

did you remove the silver strip on the side of the headlights when you blacked them out? I think i am going to do that, its much cleaner fully blacked out.

haha yea the inside of my lights are prefect as well and i dont fell like opening them again. but i think its possible to remove part of the silver strip without opening the lights.

as for painting the grill, i think ill keep it black. but if i were to do it body color i think it wont look bad judging my turn signals are.

thanks for posting the pic,
that grill looks very clean, the color is only slightly off but it gives me a good idea of what it will look like. i like it.
too bad i am almost out of NGM, i only have a few drops left basically, otherwise i might consider doing that.
