Not bad. I would have considered this if I had seen it before I color matched my grille.

Raj, after seeing your car in person, I think if you murdered the grille and left only the A it would look better than chrome.

I also had a painted grille before. I repainted two times already but still can't aviod the paint got rock chips!! That's why I change the whole set of grills to chrome.

hondaacuraworld is probably the same cost most of these aftermarket places. The type-s tails and smoked sides from them cost $25 more than buying the aftermarket version. Is $25 worth not having oem?

Why not bring your trims to a shop that can dip them in chrome?
