Daily driver project "CU2"

Sup guys,

Here's some minor updates on my daily driver.

Link to my past update:
https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-tsx-2009-2014-143/almost-month-old-2013-tsx-se-878729/

Decided to buy another 2013 JDM/Euro grill since I wanted to integrate the "A" emblems...not 100% perfect but it took a while to shape the "H" to a "A" emblem housing.
NOTE: I molded a 2006 Acura RL emblem housing to the 2013 JDM/Euro grill.

Pics of the new wheels and suspension coming soon.....

Yea the 3M stuff is sandable but you still need to use a filler to fill in all the imperfections....The "A" emblem is also from a 2006 RL.

what kind of filler did you use?

seems like that adhesive is better than using body filler.

i like it but too much chrome for me. i think it'd look alot better with the inside of the headlights blacked instead of chrome, and the outside of the grill to be darker as well
