Or carefully remove the paint and expose the brushed alluminum as it was OEM.

click from different angle and blacked out acura sign
But sign can be sanded back to factory any time
I have also attached a picture taken 3-4 months ago. It got lot worse than this picture after washing the engine

Looks like the black "A" might be a big of a rough job, I'd take some fine sandpaper and slowly remove the black paint like someone else mentioned doing if it doesn't look good close up.

I have to finish it with a paint brush or just sand it off

Might seem like a weird idea but... I used a foam brush before. It's great for doing things that are raised when you don't want to paint what's beneath it. I like it though. I think the brushed metal also looks good so its a toss up.

Acura designed air intake system to suck cold air in front of the engine
only thing we need is a better flow so I just replace the stock filter with K&N drop-in filter which does the job.
Other issue is SRI sucks dust which I have noticed on my GS350's manifold which is not good
but the sound they make is good though

A guy in the 3G TL forum just did his engine cover with the Japanese motif.

Cool story bro, dont see anyone here ripping on the things you do to your car. You have to learn how to post... Dont be a tool and go around saying people's ideas are shit, if you dont like it that much just dont say anything at all. We're not a bunch of 16 year olds here, so relax yourself.

Whether you're bashing women, claiming your wheels are the best on the site, or just being a prick...you dig yourself a deeper hole with every word you type. Maybe it's time you go jump into it
