Accessories On My TL-Look Good?

I was thinking about getting the Acura gold emblem kit and moon roof visor for my brand new WDP (Parch) Auto w/ Nav TL. What are some of your thoughts on how these accessories will look on this car? Thanks!

Gold emblems look horrible on any car.

The Gold emblem set would look good on NBP and WDP, but DEFINTELY not on SSM or anthracite.

I have NBP and a man at my facility has NBP A-SPEC with gold kit. Looks fairly sh*tty! THe only way this kit could look good is if you had matching gold wheels. Can anyone say "ethnic?"

Looks good on WDP though. I've seen a few TL's with gold as well as other manufacturers in white and I think that is the only color you can get away with gold emblems/trim

Gold emblems look horrible simply because the wheels and grill are silver, as well as the back. If all of that was gold, then the emblems would have to be gold. Otherwise, leave it the same color, please.

In my 1st gen my grille is gold and so are the emblems (the car is black/charcoal). The problem with the gold is that it does look good sorta but it's coming off! The car is 8 years old, and I'm thinking of just payign for silver

I was apprehensive about getting the gold emblem kit. I have a WDP TL, and had the gold emblems placed on the vehicle. To my surprise it looked elegant and classy.

Gold emblems look good on the WDP but I would consider chrome wheels. Looks really nice on the WDP with the gold accents. Otherwise the silver wheels throw it off as someone else mentioned.

Gold ain't for me but I ain't you.

Sorry but I hate the gold emblem b/c it does not go with the car and makes it look very tacky!! Don't like the Sunroof deflecter either. For the same money spent for what you wanted, I would rather Tint my windows or purchase the front chin spoiler!!
