kinda like it. have you thought about matte clear coat is possible protection?

I think if i were to do it (which i might soon), i would leave emblem silver for some contract. any advice on how you went about it? car is looking good!

well i did this sunday.. i left the emblem chrome and just plasti dipped the bar. i wasn't really feeling it because it looked out of place to me so earlier today i took it apart and painted the emblem to. and would you be able to peel it off if you clear coated it? & i gave it 3 coats. 15 min between each coat

Thought about doing this if my grill starts chipping again. Not sure how it'd look on a Silver TL though.

Eh, I like the look but it would look alot better without the center bar period. I like that you didnt do the entire grille!

Not feeling it. At first glance, it looks like your grill was busted out from a fender bender or something. I think it'd look better if the Acura emblem was left alone.

I would have liked to see what it looked like with the emblem chrome and the blacked out grill.
