Does anyone know that black chrome paint that you can paint the emblems with?

I just want to paint my "ACURA" label in black chrome. Im worried that if I paint the other pieces some smart fvck is going to steal them.

Do the prongs on that emblem have like teeth/wings on them that wont let them pop out or something? are they held in with 3m tape or adhesive?

I think you SHOULD put the Honda emblems on..for a few reasons. For one, a main thing many people(Ricers) do is try and be like everyone else in getting Altezzas, etc. etc. So why don't you be yourself and do something no one else does? I don't know about you but I've never seen anyone around here do that. Also, I think it looks badass. It doesn't look cheap, and all that stuff about Hondas being under Acuras is dumb. Sure, Acura is the top of the line Honda but an Acura is a Honda so why is it stupid to put Honda emblems on? Who really cares? If it looks good (not Ricey but good) than I say do it. Personally I prefer the "H" look over the "A". It might also confuse a few dumb people when they see a Honda Integra.

I guess it's just whatever floats your boat. If you like it, go for it..if you don't than don't. It's that easy. And the general public isn't car lovers so I doubt they would laugh. They would probably do a double-take of the car as they passed it tho

the true general public...will probably not even notice something like that. They seem to know that..."gas goes in car when car no go" and thats about it. I would worry more about what your typical HA net person would think...THAT general public I think, will laugh.

I just replaced my front A emblem last week with the H and it looks very good. I think i'm just gonna leave my rear A emblem on cuz i'll be getting carbon fiber emblems soon. And what do u see when u look under your hood a honda engine or an acura engine? That's why i put the H in the front cuz that where the honda engine is.
