Talking

And here is how u do it.
- Unscrew all the black lilt things lol , don no wat those thing calll



Unscrew al that and take the black cover thing out.

- And then unscrew the grill out of the radiator and there will be 2 more of those black screw things at the bottom attatched to the bumper( use the vector screwdriver to pop it out)

- Take the grill out and place it on something( newspaper or on your lap)

- Turn the grill over( the black side), and then unscrew everi litle piece of screw.

- And then take the Silver part and the Acura emblem out.

- Whats left is the thing that u wana paint it.

If ya owning the white tl then i would recon u use the White Pearl spray in Autozone for 5 bucks
Remember spray it from side to side (left to right or right to left)

- Leave it out for like 5 minutes and then put it back .

- Nice and neat huh

You should "white-out" your headlights. Instead of painting them black, do it with white. I'd probably look pretty good with your grille.

^^ If you seal it correctly when you are done, it won't leak.

Good job - looks very nice. I hate the front license plate also - glad I'm in a state that doesn't require it by law. White-out headlights might be too much white for your front end, but who knows until you try right?

imo painted grills on darker cars look a bit better...

here's an idea i think u should consider, paint the surround

another idea that might look good, just photoshop a picture of it... is if u paint the mesh matt/flat black... something not glossy... ionno but it looks good

and white is the hardest colors to match so if u paint ur surround it might show that it doesn't match which i'm certain it won't match... even if u use oem paint.. i believe shops do a few test sprays and mix the oem paint with other paint... that's my hypothesis tho...

I was wondering this also. Why don't you try it out and post photos so I can decide if I want to do it or not?

Are you talking about the chrome? That would def be too much white on the front end, I think, but might look good with black mesh??
