Well first i said hell no! but then i saw a pic of one with them on but black not chrome ( I still dont like Chrome) Anyways hes having a total brain fart, he cant remember the company that makes them. (and he was an ACURA service manager about 3 years ago!! lol any ideas?

+1

Thats where I got my second set after the first one being discarded due to paint job, and veneerz's website stopped working for a long time.

Only $25, one of those awesome cheap mods you can do and they offer many color/patterns.

I got mine there and I got a set for another member there. We have had no problems with ours but shipping was slow and prices have gone up a TON in the past few mths.

NetDiver 08-25-2009 08:44 PM

I got mine there as well. It took few weeks to get it.

Damn NetDriver your front bumper is a mirror :rockstar:

dwb993 08-26-2009 06:21 AM

^^Thats for sure. What, you must never drive that thing on actual roads??

Vtec_PL 08-26-2009 09:30 AM

ive seen it on ebay for like $6.99 shipped

ECUpirate025 08-26-2009 02:58 PM

Can anyone post a link to the product on automotive concepts website? I looked around on it and can't seem to find the decal set. Maybe I'm just blind lol

Thanks!

Nice! i just ordered one. last time i looked around it was 45$


i couldnt find it on automotive concepts either.

spicynoodle116 08-26-2009 05:53 PM

http://www.automotiveconcepts.net/st...&type3_select=

the ones on ebay are flat, not domed. and not many colors to choose from...

NetDiver 08-26-2009 09:02 PM

Lol. Thanks. I actually do drive it, but not as much as I used to. My work is about 2 miles from my house, so I get to drive it mostly on weekends.

Fatfrii 02-04-2010 02:00 AM

i like the way the flat ones look. but i got them before and they dont fit good :/ you couldnt tell from far away but im a perfectionist. NETdivers looks like they fit perfectly though i think ill go with the domes now that i lost mine due to bumper repainting

erick3 02-04-2010 03:15 AM

aw, man! ugh...i've ordered 3 sets because of new bumpers i've had to throw on. i couldn't justify paying another 30 some dollars on stupid inserts. i went with the 6.99 ebay inserts - flat. albeit, i really wanted the domed carbon fiber one :( aw well, i'll make it work...haha

i cheaped out and got those. looks fine but this winter i havent been able to wash the car myself and took it to a car wash place and it ripped up the incerts.

im gonna get the 30$ ones in the spring.

BigMiko 02-04-2010 09:12 AM

Wonder how well they last. What kind of glue is holding it on?

Project X 02-04-2010 10:21 AM

kinda ricey imho.. plus most states require you have the front license plate on the bumper..

LoveMyTL-S 02-04-2010 10:33 AM

I know someone in here painted the lettering. May be a DIY in the garage.

They use 3M double sided tape and come with an alcohol swab to prep the surface. Mine have been on or nearly a year with no trouble whatsoever.

ProjectX, Pennsylvania does not require a front license plate. WOO-HOO!

LoveMyTL-S is correct, there is a DIY in the Garage for painting the lettering, but I think the dome decals are much nicer.

AnthraciteAspec 02-04-2010 02:02 PM

They last, I have had mine on for a year now. I love the way they look, I have the domed ones by the way. It is a pretty subtle mod and most people will not even notice it, unless they are a TL owner.
Here is a shot of mine:

I just order a set from Automotiveconcept and the total was $25.20

Chessie724 04-19-2010 06:05 PM

In my experience, the fitment on the flat, $7 eBay ones suct. I spent 10 minutes trying to line up the first "A" and it was readily apparent that it was too small. Not only that, but it was obvious there wasn't enough vinyl to fill the 'channels' of the letters. You get what you pay for.

rptls08 05-03-2010 09:06 PM

can you post the link to buy these inserts... i cant find them anywhere online... i think automotive concepts took them off their site

NetDiver 05-03-2010 10:16 PM

They are no longer available on their site. At least that's the message I get when I go directly to the item.

Sandals 05-04-2010 07:50 PM

Any one know where i can get the domed ones?

Aldous 05-05-2010 12:57 AM

no idea/... :( i also have been looking for it... but no luck... most site had taken them down..

Anakalia 02-11-2011 10:26 PM

Apparently Automotive Concepts doesn't have them anymore and I'm not having any luck finding one on Ebay. Does anybody know of a site where I can get a carbon fiber looking one?

If you're looking for domed ones, they are not being produced at the moment. If you just want CF look, you could always get some vinyl and go nuts!
