Just plasti-dip them, that way when you realize how ugly it looks you can just peel it off.

Can't help you on that one, I don't believe you'll find anything aftermarket made for the TL either since you're the first person I've ever heard ask for this. Demand for this type of mod on the TL isn't high.

I don't believe I've seen an Acura emblem large enough that's enamel filled like the ITR.

Honda has a few options from varying cars (like the DC5 ITR is a pretty big emblem) but not any Acura ones.

Lots of hate on here...

I don't think it'd look terrible, though the red enamel would likely be a little much. Black enamel would look pretty good and be a subtle change.

I have a black enamel one on my S2000 that's OEM and it looks fantastic.

Reminds me of old, beat, civics and accords in Washington Heights (NYC) owned by the stereotypical classy gentleman.

I ended up doing this early on but got bored of the look. First I did red paint and realized it looked like absolute open ass. Then I opted to try metalcast red, which gave the emblem the appearance of being red anodized chrome, which looked pretty cool. Give it a shot.

Hey stop the hating guys. I did this to my Accord in high school and I'll have you know I got a lot of head turns!

Really though, don't do it. You don't drive a Civic.

The red anodized chrome looks much better. I love Rockstar's S2K and 3G, but red logo = tacky.
