Debadged and Black Tails

Just wanted to post some of my progress really quick. Not too much but added a couple things the Acura last night. Debadged and put on the blkack tails! Prolly black out the side markers and get the exhaust done this weekend. Ill post more pics as I go along. Let me know what you think!

Looks good, maybe consider the Type-s side markers instead of just blacking out the stock ones for a nicer look.
What exhaust are you going with?

I was thinking about going straight pipes but i have a friend that owns a muffler shop so im gonna go see him tommorow. And yea i know you can still see where he badges were haha. Im buffing it out tonight when i get home.

Zbar, if you're blacking out stuff, have you considered the blacked out or carbon fiber logos? That would keep your theme going.

goo gone works best for marks of where badges used to be...or if you have good sunlight & polish or wax with a microfiber towel & some elbow grease they will vanish!!!! To avoid swirls and any signs of buffing please use microfiber on any dark colored vehicle.

Yea i tried the goo gone on it already, it took off most of it but you can still see it a little bit. Im going up to the dealership i used to work at tommorow and im gonna buff and wax where they were and im sure that will get if off.

clay bar also works very well to remove the left overs from debadging.

Get some black vinyl and get the silver black trim off the trunk and hood/grill, would look awesome.

Looks good though i like it, going to debadge soon, leave the Acura logo, and take my side moldings off.
