Does Black Chrome Grill end and black chrome rims look better on White TLX?

I think it looks sportier, but not necessarily better.

Just like how the 3 series would have the sport package with different trim colours, it would be great for Acura to do different trim packages too.

Does a blonde look better than a redhead? Some people like the toned down Acura beak and others dislike the Lexus spindle grill. To each his own! It will look different from 95% of all the other TLX's on the road and matches better with any color other than white.

IMHO it is not good or bad, just different.

t33h00, I'm actually doing this within the next 2 weeks:


Gloss Black Roof
Gloss Black Chrome Grill
Gloss Ace Convex 20'' Rims


So you'll have real life pictures. My appointment for the black grill and roof is the week of 9/23. My rims should be coming within the end of this week. 3


I'm debating leaving the silver trim on the grill to give it a little accent. But after your quick color editing, I might black out the entire thing. What you think? I'd have to black out the chrome window trim as well if I did that.

I prefer entire black chrome than the glossy black color. I also think all black look better if you leave the chrome trim.

Im still looking for any good body shop in Houston to get that black chrome for me cause I don't like the glossy black )

Grill, no. People need to stop messing with the Acura grill. It is here to stay. Go buy a BMW if you want a nutsack instead (comment from bmw owner, not hating).

Wheels, yes.

Dope, I would make the grill mat black and have the top of the car mat black as well. Can't wait to get my white tlx.

Edit looks great!

Yeah! Im still thinking about it cause its still new and I don't want to mess around with it. Also, I heard some people here said there are transmitter and radar behind the ADVANCE V6 grill so I kind of afraid.
