Black Chroming the Type-S Emblem
Part of the Type-S If we chromed this, it would be come out weird. The S and probably the border would be dark chrome, but the "Type" under the clear layer would be regular chrome still.
We've had people ask us to do dark chrome on this emblem. Is this proposition good enough?

I like it but I still prefer the "Type" in black chrome. Either way what would be the total price for the "A"'s, "TL", "Acura" and now the "Type S" emblems?

I actually Plasti-Dip Type-S emblem about a month ago..just black out letter "S". It came out really great because i like how it matches with the tail lights ( dark chrome and red)

It's a good look. It will look great on a black or red Type S.

I made mine. I took the red inserts out and air brushed a black chrome finish on the S. Then to remove the chromed TYPE, I used a pic and scraped out the chrome and painted black. It came out nice IMO.

I purchased the black chromed emblem kit from HT, so the color of the typeS emblem are off a little. I like the typeS better cuz it is a bit darker. I will end up redoing it again from my original emblems so there are uniform except this time I will be trying a powder coating. If you try this I would recommend buying a new TL and TypeS emblem together so you get the foam insert to adhere it back on the car perfectly.
