Debadge Rear Gate and replace with chrome trim

Has anyone done either of these mods on their 2026 Pilot?

These are AI altered photos of what a chrome strip or LED light strip would look like.

I'm leaning towards the chrome strip as getting an after market LED strip to work and match perfectly with the taillights would be a much bigger job with a higher likelihood of it not having an OEM look. I added a couple more to show what it would look like with Pilot removed and what the Pilot Gloss Black emblem would look like.

Blacked Out PILOT I see that the Gloss Black emblems are also available for the H Symbol, AWD and Elite badges.This AI image doesnt look as close to the Gloss Black as shown in the photo of the actual Honda part. Link to 2026 Gloss Black Pilot Emblem
