Meh. You're probably better off getting a used one in the BM or ebay, or biting the bullet and getting it from the dealer. According to the info on their listing, the showroom is in Brooklyn. If the location listed in your handle is accurate, you can always check it out in person and judge for yourself.
Did you call any Acura dealers to get the cost of a new one?

And underneath my username it states the TL I own. Created my username when I owned a 2nd Gen TL-S over 7 years ago newbies. ![Tomato](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/tomato.gif)
Anyways I'll have to figure out fitment on my own I guess. Other option was to get my piece triple plated in chrome but that would cost something like $225.

I'd pass on it. I actually like the brushed aluminum look.

I don't think the chrome will look good unless it is accented in other places on your car (like the front grill on the Type-S). Personally, the brushed look looks good, but you can always plastidip it a matte color or just paint it ^^

And owning a black car I've noticed that you need some contrast on the trims for it to stand out swoosh. Btw are you the only desi in missouri? J/k.

^^^ hahaha i knew you were desi and hence wanted you to see the license plate LOL....yes i brag LOL....
and i have the floating "A" front and back....i was thinking of cutting it off from the circle completely but then i controlled my emotions LOL
i dont like chrome much....so the "A" and the exhaust tips (IMO) add enough contrast....i love the murdered out look....now "chma de"
