Blacked 2012 TSX SE

What do you guys think i have done a few mods so far, FOG lights and Low beams HID 6000k, 30% Tints, Tinted Taillights, interior under seat lights/strobe, and Painted front grill.
Anything else you guys recommend? Im kinda stuck on what to do next

i think it look really good as it is. I wouldnt black out the headlights unless you were going to drop it and get some rims... i love the grille paintmach thing. Looks amazing. Makes me with i had a black tsx.. IMO i would keep it like this for a while

You should paint the fog light casing to match the grill.

I like the grille the way it is, keep the chrome trim... Or you could go a completely different way. Since your rims are two toned you could find a similar paint color to that of your darker part of your rims and paint your chrome pieces that dark ash color. You will still have contrast but it'll look more sleek cause the colors are close enough to blend and flow together. No one has done it yet! You should be the first!

im not a hundred percent sure on the darkness. I got it done at a shop in great neck NY, it cost like 60 bucks to do. Its easy to apply because of the contour of the tail light, very similar to applying a carbon fiber sticker.

^ +1, look up plasti dip my friend spray on, wait, spray on again, wait agian, spray agian. bam, matte black. don't like it? no problem, it has a rubber texture where you can just rip it right off if you don't liike it, yet if you do, it can handle car washes, rain, and so far my grille mesh that's plasti dip held up with rock chips

I've got a 2013 and I was thinking about removing the boomerang plate but re-installing/leaving everything else: plastic shell grille, Acura emblem and chrome outline. You guys think this would work?
