There are actually some stickers you can place inside the letters.......

They are sold on ebay - come in various colors and finishes.......silver, carbon fiber, black.....etc.

I think it's the easiest way no doubt and removable when you want to change it back.

I suppose you could paint it yourself - by hand or by spray......... but you would need a way to mask off the areas you don't want painted - and the lines might not be really perfect around the letters.

I'm sure it's been done but instant gratification would be from the stickers.

Here's a link to the eBay one I purchased.......

don't paint it! there are raised lettering like SteveP66 said or you can find flat lettering. I think painting it would get messy and not come out well IMHO

Someone painted it here I just can't remember who or much less find the thread.

I think he used sticky contact paper over the area - carefully trimmed out inside the letters - and then painted.

Personally the stick on letters are much much easier and there is enough color/texture choices for anyone.

I had an unfair advantage.

I'd read all those posts trying to make a purchase decsion and knew what to look for - Acura, Bumper, Decal.

But I did spell the search terms correctly - that always helps.

Kosstick - I'm one of the guys who thinks you might be teng but i'm honestly over it. If you just post some pictures of your new whip I think it will end the arguments from everyone.

for those interested, I bought my decal from ebay id: domeddecals
check him out and if it's not listed on ebay send him a comment and tell him what you want and he'll give it to you. Here is the link from the auction I won, he offers the decal in a few color choices. I went with the brushed aluminum look.

Seriously, he is, in all likellihood, NOT teng. The mods can check IP addresses and/or ISP's and make a pretty good guess if someone is posting under an "assumed" name.

PICS would be good though.


(teng's cousin or half-brother maybe. But not teng.)

I did this mod a approximately two weeks ago, I forgot to apply the adhesive that they supply with the kit to the back of the stickers, but the stickers are still on there and haven't fallen off even after being exposed to rain. We'll see if they hold up the cold winter, I hope they do, lol.

You can purchase it for $20 at Veneerz.com they have really good customer service and provided me with tracking info and everything, I was very satisfied.

wtf is wrong with you? two mods come in here and ask not to mention teng anymore.

you need a break so you get a week ban kosstick. if you come back as a different username you get a permanent ban.... your ban will be lifted at 6am on 8-31.
