anyone know where to get the Acura sticker that fits in the front bumper indentation?

Check out this link and the first item listed is the decal. I'm at work and can't open that link:

Hope this is what your looking for.

 

I've been looking for a non domed version to replace my current decal which is falling apart (cursed power carwashes)

 

ebay, thats where i bought mines

 

Veneerz.com is the best one, they provide a tracking number a tons of colors to choose from, not to mention I had mine for a year and it still stuck on, even without applying the extra adhesive provided in the kit.

It's a great cosmetic mod.

 

Why is veneerz better? Is it domed or flat? Do you have a pic of yours?

 

I saw the ebay listing, but thought over $40 bucks (after winning the bid + s/h) was a bit much....I just tried the Veneerz.com but that didn't come up, maybe their site is down....I am temped to just go to a sticker store and make it myself from a blank sheet of gloss black...

 

That link is not coming up.......

 

Why use stickers when you can paint it yourself?

 

thats a good point....nice work

 

I love that YO! Being as though i have a front plate i completly forgot about that ACURA on the front. Very nice brotha!!!

 

Anyone know the name of the font used for Acura?

 

I can't figure out how the dude took that picture without a head

 

You can't see his head because the front bumper comes to a point .

Also, does anybody know of any other places that sell the decals for a bit cheaper? $30 is a little steep.

 

Got mine on e-bay. They also have a web address: domeddecals.com

 

I was thinking the same thing...
and yes I know it comes to a point that's why you can't see it, still funny though.

and that paint looks HOT! If I didn't have to back to driver re-training EVERY time I got a ticket I'd take my plate off and paint mine!

 

nice job. can you provide any info on what type of paint you used and how you applied it? what type of brushes, curing time, how many applications, etc. etc.?

i'd like to do the same to my NBP 06 TL, but probably with a silver or chrome look to match the color of the front grill...

cheers.

 

i like change - if i painted mine, i'd either have to redo it again, which takes more time than $$$, or get a new bumper. ebay domed stickers are the way to go... plus it's cheaper...

 

What color you lookin for. I have a few extra.

 

why paint or buy it when you can make it! haha
and switch it up some

 

Here is the spray I used. You can get most colors. Then some colors want you to use a clear coat to seal the paint. Thats it.

 

Hey guys the veneerz home page is down like you guys said (for some weirdo reason....) but I got to the right page we want anyways. AND the price is RIGHT! Thank me. I'm a gonna buy this!

It looks like you did an AWESOME job. I know you spray painted this, so you had to mask. Can you provide some guidance on how you masked it out?

Anxiously awaiting info!

Thanks!

What did you do to cover up the 'acura' indentations?

 

Has anyone found a sticker that is reflective?

I managed to find some reflective tape and I printed out a logo that matches the front bumper but I am having trouble cutting it out from the tape. The tape is a bit thick and cutting it is a pain.

 

haha, my front bumper is not the one it rolled off the showroom with
the previous owner im guessing wrecked it and that is why this is on there
so IMO, i like it haha, its different

 

EXACTLY what I wanted to do. I mentioned this and the consensus I usually get from people is "uh....why would you wanna do that??" It's been done before and I think it looks pretty cool. It would be cool to find one that is domed. It is definitely doable from reflective vinyl but it would take super exacto skills. I know I won't get it right. Maybe I will go with brushed silver from veneerz....

 

 

I just picked up a chrome colored one from veenerz. i'll take some pics once i've got it put it on...

 

Just washed my car and put it a Domed decal on today. What do you guys think??

 

For any one who is interested. The domed decal I received can be made in reflective red, black, blue, or yellow.

 

Can you post where you got it from? I tried to looking at domedecals.com but I'd have to special order it.

 

I got mine from ebay, domeddecals sells them for $35. You just have to ask them to make it custom for you in what color you like. Tell them you were referred by someone from acurazine that bought a red one recently.

I dunno if saying this affects the policies of this website but if it does forgive me.

 

Sorry sr1sws, been off the computer for a while. Here are some more pics and how to.
1) Wash/clean car/front bumper.
2) Using clear contact paper, like to laminate a card/paper, evenly cover the
Acura logo and make as smooth as possible next to the letters + extra to
protect from overspray.
3) Using an Exacto knife (any art supply store ie Pearl's) carefully cut out the
Acura logo not to gouge the plastic. The knife is razor sharp.
4) Peel away the inside Acura logo.
5) Spray in your color. I did 2-3 passes. Once horizontal, second on an angle
to make sure all the letters were coated evenly and completely.
6) Spray with clear coat if need.
7) Unpeel the rest of the contact paper and your done.

 

Awesome, thanks! Essentially this is like using frisket for airbrushing.

I was eyeballing my bumper today, working on trying to minimize the 400,000 fleabites (previous owner must have driven it in a rock quarry every day) and thinking it would look slick in black. Car is Anthracite Metalic.

Thanks for tipping us to your secret!

mine came in today from veneerz.com and either they sent me the wrong color, or they sent me a completely unfinished product. I ordered the RC color (real chrome), expecting it to be at least reflective and match well with the front grill Acura Logo.

what I got was something that looked like it had been tossed around in the dirt and had no reflective surface what-so-ever.

I left a message with Veneerz to see what's up.

 

Really? I guess the veneerz one is no good? Is it a domed style or is it flat like vinyl?

msala I wonder what reflective black would be like??? That sounds interesting! The red looks perfect on your Type-S BTW!!

 

have you guys tried real stainless stain??




they're laser-cut by me.

 

And you'd sell them to us for how much???
