It looks good, but is the grill vinyl or plasti dip? That's the only part that doesn't flow. Get that thing paint matched.

I like it! I would go as far as painting the calipers red to make the rims stand out more. I might even leave the Acura symbol in chrome and add the LED fogs and/or front lower trim.

Kinda like this;but, with the blacked out Acura blade:

I painted my calipers on my 11 MDX red because I thought it looked better than silver with a hint of rust color.

IMO small OEM calipers look better when they're painted in black, silver or gray.. Someone on the 4G forum had painted theirs silver a while ago an they looked great.

I think the colors (red, yellow, bronze etc) look better on larger Brembo style calipers.

Looks nice! I actually wrap my grille in black too but didn't do the outer bezel. I might consider doing that too. I also wrap the chrome section on foglight grille as well

Looks good but I think changing the color of the emblem can make a nice contrast.

All black looks better on the Batmobile, not the MDX. Just my opinion.

I was going to black out my grill, but definitely not the emblem. I would have also gone gloss black.

Agreed - Gloss Wrapped, 3M Ultra, then OptiCoated
