Okay...I got board today and did mine with plastidip just to see what it would look like. I used the generic gray color. I also broke the A emblem years ago and never replaced it until today, I found the emblem off the rear hatch of my Integra and low and behold, it fit perfectly! I sprayed it with high temp VHT and it came out pretty good.

Guys, I really like my ASM engine covers. The only way I would make a change on them is if I could get them Carbon Fiber dipped.

I'm really pretty happy where my Type S is. Plus, as of last night, we have added a new baby to the Bell garage. Check out my thread in the Photo Section for details (A Long Overdue Update).

I've seen a couple of guys on here say they've just decided to go professional and have their local body shop paint it for them. Can anyone tell me or would anyone know what it would cost to have my local Honda/Acura body shop do the work? I'm in cali and with three lil guys and another on the way so idk if it would be job I could tackle anytime soon in my "spare time". Thanks AcuraFam

I made this pic years ago. I always wanted to blow a bunch of money and time making it happen. Life has different ideas...

OEM Wrinkle Red on the metal and OEM SSM on the plastic.
