2022 ASpec Advance. Finally had a warm day so I replaced all my chrome emblems with the gloss black versions. I used fishing line to remove the existing and it ended up being pretty easy.
The rear A emblem did not come with the black background and I removed mine. I like it better without it.
It’s a shame the tailpipes aren’t black. Not sure I want to try and paint them.
Thank you for posting pics. I have an 22 apex blue as well. I was wondering if the gloss black would be too dark. Glad to see it's not. Now to just justify spending that much on emblems to myself. (Mainly the aspec ones)
What are the clear "frames" around the SHAWD and RDX emblems?
Nice i have the black chrome ones and i feel they match my gunmetal rims but if i had gloss black wheels id def get the 2022 accessory ones
Would you post some pics? I assume you also have an apex blue? I kind of agree about the shark gray with the black chrome vs. the gloss. Just seeing the gloss black looks really good though.

My 2022 has grey rims and I think it looks great with gloss black as all the other trim on the vehicle is gloss black. Why they installed chrome emblems from the factory is a mystery.
Probably because PMC comes with black - they wanted another way to differentiate it.

Chrome delete almost complete. Exhaust tips next! I went with the gloss black. Before/After Blacking out exhaust tips is the last thing i will be doing. ASpec gloss black. Before/After Vinyl wrapped the ring in gloss black without removing. Center badging tinted with 35%, and sensor not affected. Before/After A Spec gloss black w/ the red valve caps to accent the red interior. Ordered and waiting on MGP red caliper covers.

I scuffed them up with sandpaper, then finished with scotchbrite pads, used a plastic sheet to wrap the car, pop the tips through and painted them. Came out perfectly.
Has anyone in Canada been able to get a hold of the Black Gloss emblems? The part numbers don’t work here, and when I tried to order from the States I cannot get them to ship, I can get other parts just not those one.
I am at a loss, I mean there are Blue PMC cars in Canada, why can’t we get the emblems?

Have you tried all the online retailers; Bernardi, Acura Parts for less, etc. ?
FYI if anyone is looking to order the gloss black emblems, p/n 08F20-TJB-200D is on national backorder, with no due date of when it will be back in stock. I tried with Bernardi and APFL and both out of stock and will need to be ordered.

Hate that they are not OEM and that the aspec lettering isn't silver. Maybe I can precision tape them with frog tape and spray the letters silver...
Honestly not a bad alternative, but does it come with a pack of 3 for your sides and rear of the car? I was in no rush to get the emblems, so I just went ahead and placed the order. Hopefully the wait is not too long.
Nope, have to order 3. I just saw a thread though that someone ordered some ebay ones that were 2/3's the size. So I assume these are what they were talking about. Tempted to order 3 oem silver and paint them myself, oem are so much better though.
How did you go through the process to order them? Call the dealer and have them do it or did you place an online order and they reached out saying not in stock, etc. ?

You can either call your local dealer or buy online from a dealer like Bernardi, Curry, etc. Local dealer may charge you at MSRP unless you know a guy or if there is an Accessory coupon you can use.
I just ordered online from the Bernardi website since I've used them before, and they emailed me saying one of the items is out of stock. My options were either cancelling the order or to wait. I just messaged another dealer, AcuraPartsDiscount out of California and I'll see what they say!
That eBay link says the badge is 5 x 0.91 inches and the OEM badge on the car is about 5.75 x ~ 1.2 inches, so pretty close in dimensions.

Okay so replying to myself here.. but had an idea. I just saw the new Integra comes with gloss black A-Spec emblems too, but not sure if they are the same size as the RDX A-Spec emblem that is on backorder. The Integra gloss black A-Spec P/N is 08F20-3S5-200B.
Bernardi just told me they are available to order. So I just need to find out now if they are the same size. Anyone near an Acura dealer?

Not sure if it was you or not, but this was asked on reddit and someone measured. Integra a-spec badges are small in length and width.

Yeah it was me
I just got a shipping notification from Bernardi that my order shipped, ETA is Friday. I emailed the gentlemen I was talking to via email from Bernardi if the back ordered part came in, 08F20-TJB-200D, but he is out of town until next week. Previously he said they don't ship partial orders, so I assume the part is back in stock (for the meantime).

That's great!. I wound up just ordering the black A for the rear. I also picked up some hyperdip in piano black. I'll dip the lettering and the aspec for now. I'll eventually change the aspec since I would like the letters in spec to stand out. I previously dipped my emblem letters and they held up great for years, so I assume since hyperdip is a better product they will do just fine.

Right on!! Yeah you can't go wrong with dipping the emblems. I did that for my first car before you could get black emblems, I even did the rims. It holds up nice with a few coats, even after the winter. Let me know how the hyperdip works out, I've seen a few photos here and there and the results look really good.

bumping an old thread, but hoping to get an answer. Where did you purchase the A-Spec gloss black emblem with silver letters? All the gloss black A-Spec emblems I see online is all blacked out,

Is that A-spec emblem for the Integra and Adx? The gloss black emblem with the "spec" in silver? I could not find that emblem for the Rdx and after hours of searching, I found that those emblem is actually for the 23-25 Integra and the 25 Adx.
Several indicated they bought the OEM Acura accessory part (vs Ebay) and the pics certainly indicate that the word 'Spec' is inlaid in silver on the gloss black OEM emblem
Here's one; @JSB33 said in 2024 that he bought the OEM parts and it has the silver inlaid 'Spec' word ... related post
But the most-recent reply here, from Jan '26 @SD619, raised the question of RDX accessory part vs ADX/Integra? I definitely would want the silver inlaid word; if 'everything' on that area was black, it wouldn't be something I'd want.
