"Acura" on front bumper

Has anyone done anything creative with the "Acura" on the front bumper? Please post a pic if you have one. Thanks!

Some guy on ebay is selling a sticker kit for $30. I personally think it is a bit overpriced, but here is a picture:

I took off my front plate the night I got the car.
I like the subtle indented look of the bumper stock. I don't care for the sticker to make it stand out more.

What color do you guys think would look good on Anthracite? Personally, the Acura on the bumper is the only thing I don't like about the new TL, it just looks cheezy to me, and having the decal seems to give the car a "finished" look.

I like the look of the front bumper so much more than with a license plate on it. We have front license plates over here in MD. Guess I will have to move to another state??? LOL

I was actually convinced by the sales guy to go with the Chesapeake Bay plates on my new TL. He said they look nice with the Anthrocite. And he was right.

Somebody at the SoCal meet had a WDP with a carbon-fiber looking Acura on their front. Looked decent enough. Don't think that would look good on my Anthracite though

I'd be curious to see how chrome or gunmetal lettering would look. Know of this anywhere?

Yup. I saw it too. It was more of a carbon fiber look.

So, anyone know where I can pick these up other than ebay? Theres currently nothing listed on ebay.

To each its own, I like the subtle look without the sticker. I think the big ass Acura Logo in the front is obviously enough.

I dont know what I'd do with black. I kind of like having my front plate on as well...its saved my bumper twice from getting scratched by people backing into it (though now I have a big ass crack in the bumper, but still)

I like black front bumper the way it is.....adding white decal would mess it up IMO. I know about the front license plate...I already have couple of deep scratches but I still like it the way it is

I'm in NJ, how do I find out if it's illegal to have only 1 license plate in the back. The License plate on the TL looks horrible in the front, consider the bumper looks soo sharp.

I made the one for Trance and could probably produce them if no admins/vendors had a problem with it.
