Looks great. How was it done? I was told the giant logo cannot be blocked due to sensors.

took it to my tint spot. My guy tint the logo ring with a glossy vinyl wrap and the center Acura logo was tint with with a 20 percent widow tint . Sensors are working just fine. Haven’t had no issues

Did they have to take apart the front grill to get to the 'A' portion? Outside ring is easy.
I would love to do the same as it looks great - blends in so well.

no he didn’t. He just put regular 20percent film in the center and cut it out. He did the same with the outside ring. U can take it to a regular tint place to get it done just make sure his good at it.

I also did a gloss around the emblem and did a tint for the glass. I went with a 50%. I just wanted to get rid of the chrome but wanted the Acura to stay visible. Was also scared the sensors might not work if I went darker. But your 20% looks good! Here’s a pic of mine at 50%.

i also hyper dipped all the emblems Including the aspec sides and all rear emblems.

Damn I love the front end. I find myself staring at mine sometimes. Reminds me of cartoon Superman standing on top of the Daily Planet with the wind whipping his cape back.

Plastidip

I am doing my emblems and I removed the RDX and SH-AWD badging. For those that are nervous doing it the paint is completely removable. Apply 5 or 6 coats for durability

Plasti-dip

You must have removed the RDX and SH AWD emblems. What did you use to reattach them?
