Hi folks! You've been very helpful with some of my other questions, so here's another set. Couldn't find the answers in the search, so here's a new thread.

It's about that time again. Springtime, and I'm ready for some mods and maintenance. Here's what I'm planning on doing this weekend or next:

1. Installing the A-spec lip kit (arriving tomorrow)
2. Clearing the headlights (+ adding chrome/amber bulbs)
3. Painting the recessed ACURA text in the front bumper
4. Painting the front grille
5. Cleaning the dash with 303 to get rid of the airbag dash fade

I have a few questions.

On #3, what's the best way to do it? I'm looking for a more permanent alternative to the $35 domed insert stickers on ebay. I was thinking of taping a piece of paper to the bumper, sketching over the "ACURA" text with a pencil, and making a cutout from that.

On #4, I'm painting it to mask a bunch of very light scratches that somehow got onto the dark gray part of the grille assembly. Does anyone know what color(s) would match the gray of the A-spec kit most closely? Or another color that would look great instead of the dark gray?

Thanks in advance!
