Today i detailed my car and also added the ACURA front bumper decals in brushed aluminum which i ordered from Veneerz.com. I also took some other pics of my old accord (now my moms car) with my stock tl wheels...

 

Nice, I like the TL wheels on the Accord. The TL is clean as hell too.

 

both cars look good.

 

Lookin' good. I just put mine in today, too. Mine are chrome, though:

 

The chrome looks good on WDP. Do you have any more pics of your car? I'm very close to buying a white with the light interior.

 

Do I have pics of my car?! Yeah, I've got some.

My car is actually a good amount different right now from what you'll find in any of those pics, but they're all -- more or less -- what it looks like, especially the first link after the headlight clearing.


From the factory:
White Diamond Pearl
Ebony Interior
Navigation
Pro Package

From the mind of brettallica (A.K.A. modifications):
Front end mod (chrome and white to the max)
MRR Design HR-2 19" rims on Falken 452 245/35/19
Headlight clearing
PIAA Hyper-white 7443 turn signals
Disclaimer screen text hack
Welcome screen hack
TL-S rear side markers
Front side marker modification for white LEDs
Interior LEDs changed to white

 

accord coupe looks great

 

btw how much are you guys paying for this decal? i found dommed version on ebay for $35 but seems bit pricey for simple decal

 

That's a sweet car! The one I'm looking at has the light interior...I'd prefer the ebony. Can you tell me more about the highlited mods (above). The welcome and disclaimer hack sound like a must do. Does it jump straight to the gps map now?

 

Just go to the electronics/navigation section..it'll tell you how to do those hacks.

 

I did my headlight clearing with the help of a few DIYs on here, as well as with some guidance by our vendor, Retrofit-Source, who I referred to AZ myself. He does the headlight clearing mod for (I want to say) $135 or $150, and a lot of people have had it done. Check out the Black Market and go to the Sponsored Sales & Group Buys section. You can get all the details from there as far as how to get yours done.

I'm not sure if you're into doing it yourself, so that's why I pointed you there. If you do want to do it on your own, it's a pretty inexpensive modification. The hardest part is getting the courage to put the lights into an oven. There are a lot of DIYs on here, so the information is out there as far as how to get it done on your own. PM me if you want me to help you out with that.

 

I paid $21 plus shipping for my ACURA decal

 

That's all he needed to hear........LOL (just kiddin' cousin)

 

I kinda miss driving the accord, but i think it looked better when i owned it...

 

I think it's kinda cool that your Mom drives the Accord now......she must make the other Mom's jealous at the PTA meetings.....LOL

 

yep the front decal makes the car look much better..i got black on mine and i paid..ZIP!

 

Yeah it does make the car look great - I have the Carbon Fiber on my ASM - too bad RI makes me put that stupid front plate on to cover it up.

One of these days I'm going to go front plate - less and see how long it takes to get pulled over

 

Do the decals come with some sort of adhesive to apply on the car..or do you have to use like a double sided 3M tape or somethin

 

They are a sticker of sorts - peel the backing off the letter and apply. Really easy and adds a nice touch

 

nice..gonna be copying the OP..brushed aluminum on my future NBP =)

 

Sounds like a winning combo!

 

The way Acura has the lettering on the front, inset and what not, is the way it should remain to me. To bring it out with the different colored letters, chrome, CF, and what not, cheapens the look (rice) and is akin to advertising to me...and I can't get with that. I like the subtle look. That reminds me too much of people putting their car name on their tag. WTF??? Shit, I don't even want my tag on the front of my car! Fucks up my stealth theme!! As soon as I get me some plugs, that damn thing is in the trunk with a fake ass story prepared for the cop stop! Ya know?
Anyway, to each his own...

 

Darky......... That's hardly "rice".....

If the way Acura did things was perfect none of us would change or add anything to our cars.

 

I agree with you to a certain extent. I'm gonna run with this look for a while and see if I like it in the end. As it is now, with the new lettering, I like it, but I'm not sure I love it. There was something about the subtlety of the non-accented lettering down there that was always kind of appealing to me.

I think what I really need to do to get the look I want is to get legit chrome for those lower grills, instead of that crapper door edge guard nonsense that I have now. I need more lustrous/shiny material down there than what I currently have.

 

Where can I purchase a decal for the front bumper?

 

www.veneerz.com

bought mine for 21..didnt feel like paying for shipping..so it'll come in like 7 business days..(non expedited)

 

there are a few on eBay too...........

 

loooks swweeeeeeeeeeeeet

 

Nice pictures. No tint yet? How difficult was the navi disclaimer and welcome hack? Not sure what you mean by changed interior or side3 marker LED's. Aren't they just bulbs?

 

The lights in the side markers are LEDs. I changed my front side markers from amber color to white, to help match my theme a little better. The interior lights, yes, those are bulbs from the factory. I removed the bulbs and replaced them with white LEDs.

The navi disclaimer hack is a little tricky, but doable if you've got decent computer (PC) skills. Macnutz need not apply unless you have a Windows operating system. The "splash screen" -- where it normally says "Acura Navigation System" and has a picture of Earth and space -- is pretty easy to hack. Again, though, you definitely need some computer skills.

Yep - that's one choice.........and I good one IMO

 

What color does everyone think will look good on anthracite. i was thinking carbon fiber, and also silver to match with the grill. But domeddecals on ebay said that the bright silver looks like chrome almost.

 

I just put on my Veneerz decal..But it doesnt seem to stick..i did clean it with alcohol...applied the primer..then put on the letters...anyone else having similar problems?

 

I didnt have any problems at all, all i did when installing was clean the area with isopropyl alcohol let it dry and then stuck the letters on. I didnt use the stick of glue or whatever given because i didnt want it to mess up the paint and it said to apply it to the corners when installing the dash kit so i disgaurded it. My letters seem to be sticking great, they have lasted 3 washes and lots of afternoon rain so far!

 

Did you guys take off the red 3M part on the back of the letters like it says in the instructions? it seems like that is the adhesive you would be taking off...

 

The red part is the protective backing to the tape, you have to peel that off to get the sticky part of the tape!

 

just got mine from veneerz shipped via fedex fits excellent except while getting them on put the U in the place of C and viceversa. 21 bucks shpd is worth it. got the Black one as I have an SSM looks great

 

Wow...I need to wash my car ASAP..haha love that NBP shine..btw the accord looks SUH-WEET

 

Ray, I think I have an extra set of plugs if you're interested.. Anything to get rid of that damn WDP off your front bumper lol I guess they'll fit even though mine is for 07-08? I would think the holes are the same size, if not I would just ask that you send them back to me
