Chrome grill insert
#3
I put em on too, It needed something down there since there were no fog lights mounted down there. I think it looks good on the darker colors- maybe that those grilles get 'lost' in the dark color. But it's all about personal taste. Heck they are easy enough to remove if you tire of them.

Looks good. How did you do that and how much did it cost?

Yep, I used door edge guards as an experiment (comes in an array of colors and metallic finishes). I think I spent less than $5. I found a satin look finish like the grille.
Funny thing is I saw someone on EBay selling prefab in the $20 area. Smart Guy!
Mine are on 6 months now, with no degradation. But I have no issue yanking them if I want to change or remove.

I've seen the ebay versions where the whole lower grille is 'chromed' out.... Looks completely rice, but I think the single chrome strip breaks everything up and gives the front end a better look... And as an added bonus, it mimics the chrome strips in the side markers.....
That's why I did it on mine!!

Honesty I think it only looks good on lighter color cars. I had mine on my NBP and it looks kinda weird, so i took it off. You guys are right, it's really easy to remove.

I ordered the ebay version of the strips for the Silver TL. They should be here this week sometime....will post pics, but i think it looks Good and breaks up the solid color scheme the TL has. Personally i think the window trim and door handles should be chromed......the TSX has chrome window trim, i guess when they engineered the TL they forgot 'bout it.

3 bucks at the local auto parts store. I just wonder if they will crack soon. All who have seen it think it is neat, clean and better in a subtle way.

I read these posts yesterday and had to try it out. I stopped at Pep Boys on my way home and bought these in chrome and put them on. It looks great -I have an '04 ABP/Camel. It looks like it really belongs there -not a bad modification for $3.99. I'm surprised Acura doesn't do this at the factory.

Good look man, I have the same on my ABP. The chrome inserts for the AC vent looked horrible so I didn't put those on.
Are you ABP guys on the ABP team?
