I'm looking for a front bumper insert and I know I can find it on e-bay such as here .

But I found this place I was wondering if anyone heard of this sit and know if this is the right thing to get. Its cheaper than the e-bay price too and you have more choices to chose from.

Thanks for the help.

I'm also interested in these. The carbon fiber inlays will match the interior of the TL-S.

The website you listed shows $28 and has free shipping. The ebay vendor has $35 for "Buy it Now" and $6 for shipping.

If they don't look good or stock then I don't want them.

Here is the direct link to the front decals

The other difference is that the eBay one is domed (the insert pops out) whereas the ones off of the veenerz site seem like they are flat decals.

Good point on the domed part. Thanks.

datmrman

No prob. I can vouch for the eBay seller. Mine still look great and it was one of the first "mods" I did.

I also got mine from the same ebay vendor....still look good as new. Highly recommend. Worth the extra money. I got the CF ones.

JoeyASPEC

^yep... my brushed aluminum ones are good as new and look great on my RBP. ebay ftw.

Sounds interesting.

I have no idea what color to get for Carbon Grey. What do you guys think?

JoeyASPEC

Carbon Grey - ehh nothing. That'd just look tacky.

So a few questions I got. I'm considering getting the carbon fiber insert. I was wondering what material is the insert. Is it really carbon fiber or is it carbon fiber look but the material is different. Also since it uses 3M adhesive tape, does that mean if I want to remove it, it will damage the body paint? Thanks for your help.

JoeyASPEC

on mine (brushed aluminum) it's rubber domed and the design is flat on the back and comes through the front. Ask for some close up pics from Michael or MrMan for C/F. Just for reference...

I just bought an insert from e-bay. I got the carbon fiber one. Hope it'll look good

skyeliu

Wow~they look awsome, I want to put one on my TL too, I wonder if anyone has picture of other color? I have a carbon grey TL, any suggestion which color should I get? Thanks!!

JoeyASPEC

I like those decals, but where would I put my front plate?

drdug27

just move to Pennsylvania...ya dont need a front plate

07CarbonTL

I am in the same boat. I just don't know if I want to do it or not. I think black would be like nothing at all on there really. The aluminum sounds good but if you are going for a "blacked out" theme with the car then it would ruin the contrast. Oh hell I hate decisions.

skyeliu

Yah~I know, I think I'll go with the silver, since the logo, the hood edge are silver too, so I think it will be better than the aluminum.

skyeliu

Sooooo, I got my Carbon Grey an insert, I pick the silver,






Not the color I think I was getting, but it still look ok to me, maybe I should get the alumiumn

Jeffa1

I got mine from ebay. Black on my SSM.

EnvisionTL

JoeyASPEC - if you could, can you please post a close up of your brushed aluminum? I want to compare it with the silver insert skyeliu psoted. Thanks

jsong83

can anyone post their pictures who have done this with their WDP? i think i already saw one already (the WDP with the carbon fiber hood) but im trying to see if the color differences on a WDP.

JoeyASPEC

I'm washing it right now, seeing as it's sunset... will do post-wash.

get the brushed aluminum for darker color cars like the NBP if you want it to match with the aluminum color grill and the lower grill inserts....

JoeyASPEC

Update: So i finished washing it, took pix and now cant find the camera cable. SOB! ((I just moved back to FL from New York LITERALLY yesterday @ 230am)) Hence the reason I had to wash the car... 1200 mile drive = a million bugs + dirt + road grime = nastiness. Promise to post pix later tomorrow (or if u wanna get technical - today lol).

JoeyASPEC

So remember that car wash i was talking bout?? WELL... I had to go to the airport to pick up a family member and when i got home the front of my car looked like this.

Not so clean:







SO - I washed it again. I dont mind though - I love washing my car. This weekend I'm detailing it ((i didnt have the time to do a whole detail earlier.))
Clean



Hope that helps.

BUG KILLER! Nice picture of the dead bug.

JoeyASPEC

^^YEPP.. Im actually contemplating a clear bra bc of them. I'm anti-bra though =/

EnvisionTL

thanks for the pics joey!

skyeliu

Ooo~poor bugs. Anyway, seems like aluminum is really better than the silver~ai~darn~ i hope i got the aluminum.

For those that like the domed inserts:

For WDP (07 TL-S) what's the opinion of what'd look better

- Black or CF

OR

- Silver or Brushed

I can't decide

count by 5s

cool just stumbled upon this thread. i've been looking for a place to buy the decals! i'm joining the undecided crowd. i have a NBP and can't decide between silver or brushed aluminum. i'm leaning towards the flat ones though. i am bidding on the grill strips on ebay right now and already have the chrome trim on my door handles (i love the way these look on the NBP). i guess silver would match closer to the grill chrome trim. suggestions? what's everyone else with NBP getting?

i'm collecting everyone's before i buy them on that veneerz website

looking at this thread, i remembered someting that might help members looking into this mod. I remember one of the mods just making a stencil of his bumper where it said acura and cutting out the letters from reflective paper. He made three, kept one, gave one to xtin and the other to leedog if you want to see examples. in the day they are black/white, but at night when light hits them, they turn white/black. This was pretty good looking. Just thought to help out a few members in case they wanted that two tone look....

housefull

IMHO- I like the CF even though it probvably isn't real. It ended up contrasting with my Anthricite nicely...

Evader

Can someone give me the ebay ID of the reccomend seller of these? I have NBP and I think I'm going to go with the Brushed Aluminum look. I'm registered in virginia (2 plates required), I got to inserts from my local Acura dealership which enables you to remove the front license plate and cover up the two holes left from the license plate bracket :o ) Hopefully the cops won't be bothersome without having a front plate. If they are a pain in the ass then I'll just put the plate back on whenever driving through va. The "ACURA" insert looks much better than a damn front license plate anyway.

housefull

This is the guy i got mine from:
domeddecals@cfl.rr.com
I'm nopt sure if he has another link or what.
Hope this helps!

I actually bought one from this seller this morning. I e-mailed them and told them the color I wanted, to which they quickly replied back and told me that it'd be in the mail today.

I'd change that to Florida
