fog grill chrome strip and raised/domed Acura decal?

Hi all,

I've been trying to find the raised "ACURA" decal that goes on the bumper and the chrome strips that goes in the fog grill, seen in this pic (Thanks TSXinity):


Any ideas where they are still sold at? I was told ebay but has been searching high and low with no luck. Thoughts?

Chrome strips can either be bought on fleabay, or if you go to an autoparts store, you can find the chrome trim and you can cut it to length and it will stick right on. That chrome in the picture above is standard on the 07-08.

That Chrome Strip, how strong does it stick on? I would think with the amount of front end wind force wouldn't it have a tendancy to fall off eventually?

I think it's kind of like the door edge trim. It's a sideways 'U' shape, and it wraps over the leading edge.

Oh Ok... that won't work for me. I was hoping to put it on my lower RJ grill where I custom mounted fogs so there is nothing there for me to wrap it around, only flat surface to stick it on to (grill mesh).

The chrome stuff IS door edge trim. It's got some glue on it, i wouldnt sweat it falling off. Probably goes for 4-5 bucks for a couple strips of it at an auto place. Or 15-20 bucks for the suckers that get it online.

Mine took a couple of weeks. They do seem kinda slow. Perhaps the holidays is holding yours up even longer. But I would think they would answer an email, geez.

Buddy, I don't remember because I got mine during the holidays between Christmas and New Year's I think. I'm really sorry it's taking so long for them to get it to you.

Washed up the car and put it on but its too dark to get some nice shots.

I can definitely say 100% to go with Veneerz, the fit perfect and stick on awesome!!! Not to mention I think it looks sick! The doomed ones don't fit perfect and they has issues sticking on. The Veneerz one used 3m tape which I think is a big difference on how it sticks.

so I am thinking about getting the ACURA inserts for the front bumper and don't know what color to go with. I have CBP and was thinking either orange and black CF, yellow and black CF or just solid black would look ok. Any thoughts on these colors or additional colors you think would look good on a CBP

I'm very impressed with Veneerz. 100 times better than the ebay one and fits better also!
