Anybody have any pics of an NBP with a flat black painted grille with the flat black trim above the license plate? Im thinking about doing this but I wanna see if it looks good. Thanks

 

never seen that...usually people paint match the grilles on nbp

 

Here you go. I just have the front grille, I though about doing the back at the moment but never did it.

 

^^^that looks really good!!!...is it paint or vinyl???

 

It really does look great. If I were to go that route I'd definitely vinyl it. It would protect the finish and keep it's looks much longer than paint would. Anyone with a WDP and flat blacked Out front grill out there?

 

^^^that would look sick on wdp......yea i feel you on the vinyl thing....thats why i did mine in it

 

Rafiton, the grill looks awsome!! You do it yourself?

 

It's a good look-especially with the Audi style lights.

 

nop, a friend of mine works in a shop, he put some paper around the headlights, bumper, the hood and painted

Paint

Thank you

 

Heres pics of my WDP with flat black PAINTED grill. And a pic of my rear trim and emblem flat black. This was a long time ago iv got it wrapped in 3M Di-Noc carbon fiber now. But this is what you asked for...

 

^not feeling that one so much

 

Yea neither did I lol I wrapped the middle bar in carbon fiber, redid the hood trim and that narrow silver piece back to silver, and did the rear bar and emblem in a new gloss black. Looks nice

 

Yes the chrome strips are gone.
Yes it is paint.
No it is not NBP.

 

heres an old pic of mines i took with a point and shoot digi

 

well since people are throwing up pics of flat black grilles ...here is mine on ASM...done with 3m vinyl

 

where did u get the 3m vinyl??

 

Hey love the look, ive got an ASM as well, u mind posting up some more pics? also whered u get the 3m vinyl?

 

I wouldn't do anything with the Type-S grill. It comes black chrome to set it apart from the factory.

 

never seen a type s come from factory with a black chrome grille.....do you mind posting a pic

No need for a pic. Just go to your car and look at the front grill. For reference, look up a base TL front grill.

Our grill finish is different.

 

yea i know they are different....wondering what you are calling "black chrome"

 

The grill. If you know they're different, you know what's black chrome. I'm not sure that's the name given by Acura. But, if you know that the finishes are different, you know what I mean by black chrome.

I'm talking about the "shiny" part of the grill, not the mesh.

 

Flat black grill looks cheap

 

whenever i see a flat black grille i think of the RSXs i see running around with flat black DIY spray paint on various parts of their car, looks tacky as hell.

some of these look good though

 

yea thats why i did mine in vinyl......so if anything i can just pull it off....

 

got the 3m vinyl from stickercity.com

 

That looks great...DIY??!!

 

thanx man......i should have made a video while i did it...but wasnt expecting any requests .....all i can say is the part on the hood and the lower trim are pretty easy if you have knife skills.....when doing the middle bar i started above the "A" and worked towards the edges....makes it alot easier that way..takes a little patience...oh and some vinyl lol....

 

I went to the website but could not find the product...where exactly did u find it?

 

http://www.stickercity.com/3m-matte-...rap-sheet.html

I saw it on the front page of the site

 

I thought they had it precut already, I didn't know you had to cut it yourself.....

 

they dont sell it pre-cut....you have to buy a size big enough to cover the roof....look at a video on youtube to see how to install it.......search for 3m matte black vinyl install...its not too hard...its a dry install..no soapy water needed

 

Thanks for the tips! Did you cover the entire grill or just the chrome parts?

Also, has anyone used the gloss black 3m vinyl on nbp or any other color for that matter?

 

^^^^^^i just covered the shiny parts of the grille...

 

I think the flat black looks awesome on silver but I think I like gloss black better for nbp. Do you think it would be possible to cover all parts of the grill both shiny and non shiny parts?

 

Flat black grill = :thumbsdow

Body color painted grill or leave it alone =

i feel the same way bout ron jon wheels...but people still buy them so.........

 

yup it would def be possible

 

I painted mine on my WDP today and it came out amazing. I love it.
