Purchased in late May. TLX badges deleted, replaced rear chrome A with black chrome, tinted out front grill A. Gloss black powder coat on wheels, painted calipers. Installed XPEL protection film on the entire front, fenders, hood, mirrors, roof, and rockers- applied Ceramic Pro coating on my paint and wheels- and tinted my windows using Prime window film. Chrome delete on window and grill trim. Looks like a different car now.

Definitely increases road presence with the vehicle. Great work. Will you be lowering it?

Super clean, I love it. The debadging, the carbon fiber, the all black with the red accent Acura logo on the oem wheels. Did they come with the red Acura logos or did you do that yourself? I'm definitely going to have to get some black rims now, you've fully convinced me. My poor wallet

Hahaha- yes, it never ends. The red ‘A’s were done by the guy that powder coated the wheels.

Ah, very nice. Also, it looks like you tinted your front plate on the grille. If so, what % tint did you use?

Actually, I didn't tint the front grille as the lighting. Just tinted the front amber side lenses and rear center lenses.
