Thanks man. I'm leaving it like the bottom pic. It looks great in person, pics don't really do justice. Even some dude in an LXP gave me a in a parking lot.

Looks fantastic, I really like it (the grille). I'm not a fan of the lower bumper spray.

the lower bumper with plasti dip looks good!! You should black out the "U" part of the middle grill and leave the top chrome part alone. I want to see what that looks like :O

Good idea. Put in some chrome pieces and black out the "U", then it might look similar to the 2011-2012 grille.

I really like the lower bumper job ... it makes the car look lower to the ground..any pics from further away? The grille looks great too...have you thought about doing the whole thing black?

Ill try to get better ones later, when sun isn't so bright. as far as the plasti dip finish it matches the grills spot on.

very sexy and clean!

I also have the white accord and have plasti dipped my grill, side view mirrors shoot even my stock wheels at one point and now imma black out the roof!. Love the dip! I agree with the person who said to try to dip the whole grill maybe even swap out that emblem for a jdm red one? just ideas i thought the car looked much cleaner when i did the whole grill.

But I must admit i will stealing your idea and blacking out the very bottom vent under the grill! it looks soooo sexy for the creative idea
