What do you guys think about changing the Acura front and rear emblems to the type R Red Emblems? anyone done this,if so pics please. Also removing the acura and 3.2 tl badging and leave the red acura emblem.

I would prefer the OEM chrome badges myself or a complete de-badge with holes filled in.

Front and rear Type S badging?

okckat

It might look good until you park next to the real Type-S.
no badges is better than fake one.
my 2 cents

Yea I see what you mean. No badges looks cleaner.

Now What about black vinyl on the roof?

look up threads by member "eleventure"

search google for eleventure + acurazine

Number_twelve. Im not sure if its vinyl they use, maybe its vehicle wrapping. not sure. Seen it on other vehicles.BMWs Mercedes etc. Its just a thought. I like to ask for opinions from those who are true tuners and see what I can come up with for a final outcome.

Black vinyl roofs look good if you have a theme, actually havnt seen one that doesn't look good.

Not a big fan of the colored Acura symbols, I just don't see it flowing with the tl. I'm sure there are exceptions.

randomthought

Black roof would look great if it flows with the other things you have/will do to the car. If you black it out on a near stock looking car, it'd be more of an oddity. Drop with some wheels and oem kit would probably work. Haven't seen many (or at all) blacked out roof's on a tl myself.

What do u guys think of red tint to flush the rear tailights red complete? Once again I know I should do trial and error but I dont have the funds to do that so Id rather see if anyone has done it to their TL and how does it look.Any pics?

i think some contrast would look better. maybe someone can photoshop it for you.

JohnieG87

I know Ive seen it on a 2012 and it looks amazing. I dont know, I know i dont want to go ricer. I want to stay as clean as possible. but I do like being unique. Its hard to keep it clean and simple yet stylish

here you go. i did a quick photoshop since im bored of doing homework.



it doesnt look as bad as i thought. you would need to change the color of the turn signal bulbs though. also you may want to make a cutout in the red tint for the reverse light to shine through. a red reverse light at night is useless.

JohnieG87

@ red reverse light:

Looks good. true the cut out would help. Smoked does look ok too i can imagine

What have some of you done to clean up the engine bay to look clean but styling for a car show.

Paint the plastic covers, get aftermarket strut bar, install supercharger.

Then clean everything with Adams all purpose cleaner.

I don't get what being a tuner has anything to do with cosmetic mods.
You read too much import tuner.

JohnieG87

Import tuner? Yea that's not my style. I'm simply looking for opinions. Although one cab get ricerized if you get crazy with exterior things. Tuners touch interior and exterior of vehicles. I'm no tuner,but I also don't want to turn her into a ricer.
