I gotta admit... that looks pretty good!

Is it just black glossy wrap?

HottnesTLX 03-02-2016 07:39 PM
Thanks...no i painted it

TacoBello 03-02-2016 11:44 PM
Very nicely done :thumbsup:

Whoa! Sweet! Did you remove the Acura emblem and reinstall it?
I was thinking of doing something similar for my TSX's grill that's getting a bit old and peely now.

Looks really good, I just wonder how well it will hold up to stone chips.

I was thinking of wrapping my grill, looks great gloss black! Also now I wish I got the fog lights on my initial purchase lol...

Looks good. If I had gotten a white one, I'd have either painted or wrapped it gloss black. Looks good, real good! :toocool::thumbsup:

Looks good. Painting it gloss black makes the fog light housing make more sense.

Was it just masked off very carefully, then?
Thank you for the info!

Looks real good. I'm going to get the grille wrapped once weather clears up. On and off rain here so installer recommended wait til all these storms pass

I'd see if you can remove the grill in its entirety and paint it properly.

I believe on the 3G TL, you were not able to separate the grill from the bumper. But, if you can on the TLX, I'd do that. It'll net you the best results.

Pulling the front bumper off seems like an daunting task, but it really isn't. The first time will take you like 45 minutes. After that, it'll take you 15 minutes each and every time.

No I bought another grill and painted it. I installed it when I did the front lip and fogs. You can buy just the front beak only, no need to buy the entire grill assembly

That is what I did with my 4G MMC TL's shield (beak). I think the painted shield looks best on BWP.

Well done! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

beautiful work!

The car looks good with the fogs, however I'm not ready to drop $500.00 on fog lights!

Fogs in TLX are joke, bad performance... just looks

:teef:

They're fine for what they are. Most do it for the look. I see fog like once a year, but fogs are a must

Looks great with the White paint color...

Nice

I'm glad I don't have fog lights on my 2015 TLX V6. I might black out my chrome grill.
