Nice. I kind of like the amber reflector in the headlight, keeps some contrast. Otherwise I think the housing would just look like a mass of chrome, unless you painted the high beams or something.

I'm glad you haven't debadged the decklid, I always thought that area was elegant.

Thanks!

Yeah I LOVE the deck lid as-is.. It keeps a nice classy touch to it, especially with all the chrome everywhere on the car.. (door handles, grill, molding and badges) And I think i'll keep the headlights as is too. I might get a light smoked vinyl for them in the future, but I'm still on the fence about that too.

Agreed. A small part of me dies inside when I see debaged 2G TL's/CL's. It looks worse imo. Just seems like something you don't do to an Acura.

Splashes of chrome ftw.

Lightly smoked headlights could be good. I feel like they need something, just not sure what...but that could look good. At least vinyl is easily removed as opposed to spray tinting.
