07 MDX Bubbling Grille Fix
Hi Everyone,
I have and 07 MDX that i just purchase. I noticed the grille had some bubble with it. I'm thinking of painting it but has anyone painted thier grille and took the aluminum textured part out?
I just wanted to know if it's easy to remove. If not, I might just have to buy a new grille.
Thanks

I wish Acura had a recall for this. It's annoying knowing that is a known issue for the 07-09 MDX and they don't do anything about it.

I plan on contacting Acura Customer Relations department on this matter. I've owned 4 Acuras (3 currently) and I find this completely unacceptable. The 07 MDX's fit and finish is horrible compared to the 2003 that I owned for 8 years. There are loose plastic pieces, moldings, etc all over the car. Didn't fully realize this until I did a thorough interior detailing (I wasn't the primary driver of the 2007). Makes me somewhat regret buying the 2011, hopefully they have fixed all those problems since the first new model run.

Mine was changed under warranty this past December for ZERO dollars. There IS a TSB on this announced in 2008 I believe. No RECALL is needed as this doesn't warrant HARM for human beings.....RECALL's are ONLY issued if there is potenal for DEATH.....This grill is pure cosmetics related......

mention there is a TSB about the peeling grills on the early 07-08 models.....and shut your mouth with a firm look in their eyes..... and they can do a "one time warranty" ...I forget the term....(Long day). Good luck....
