Yep, just look on ebay. Come in all sorts of colors. There's a carbon fiber one out there also if that's what you're after.

Just get the vinyl man, like others have said. It's cheaper and waaaay less permanent, especially if you goof up the paint.

I got a vinyl set from one of the ebay sellers others have used. The accuracy of the cut/fitment suct IMO. I will be painting mine. With proper prep, most any automotive touch- up should be fine. Even with a non-professional hand, hand brushed/masked and sprayed will look fine from more than 4 ft away. The only stick-on solutions I like are the domed/3d letters or di-noc cut out.

^^^ Just go to a local vinyl shop and have them print the ACURA logo in 1.25" tall, make sure they pull the image file from brandsoftheworld.com

They hold up pretty well too. I've had mine for over a year and no signs of peeling.

I saw a while back that there were carbon fiber style inserts but I can't find them on eBay. Does anybody have a link or a site as to where to get the carbon fiber ones?
