ATLP would be a complete cat-back and would be about $1100.

fox exhaust? 1G for an axle back, f**k that
ct-e exhaust? vaporware.
Killer, watch your language please..

With regard to CAI, when CU2 first came out, Takeda offer the first CAI followed by CTE Ice box, Injen and AEM. The price range from $300 to $460. The lowest price I have seen was Injen for $255 plus S/H, the average conventional CAI run around $300- $360. I was fortunate to get the CTE Ice Box from Rob at Acura of Lynnwood when it first came out for an introductory price of $375. To date, I count that as one of the best thing I had installed in my car.

As you all know by now, none of the exhaust system mentioned by Killer actually increase any hp, it's purely for looks and sound. I am not willing to spend 4 figure sum for that I am putting in a set of 4" exhaust tip tomorrow, the stock one looks tiny especially with the rear aero bumper.

haha +1, no performance gain, just sound, 4 figures is a bit deep. i think just going to a shop and doing some custom exhaust would be cheaper and more beneficial (maybe)

bump for the grille! finally started making the first 10! hopefully we will get it soon and more people will see how it looks!

I just tuned into this.

Marcus is a busy guy but he is also pretty fast in responding to questions and e-mails about anything on his website.

I can't wait to see the final product. I've always hated the oem grill in 09 haha...

*7/6: Grilles are in production (same are made already!) Mesh is being trimmed. Final steps are: coating mesh, attach mesh to grille. Then we can ship. Progress is slow but product is coming out fantastic.

nah... PASS... I would rather spend some more money for new alloys....

How hard it is for HeelToe to come up with the same kind of grille for 2011's ?
(Atleast it should not take 17 months)

the total with fedex home delivery shipping (1-5 days) is 350.92...and i would need to have it painted. imo that is a weak discount (~3.5%) i figured AZine would be worth a 5% discount :-)...can we get the grill without the mesh? im not complaining about the price, just helping out the ones that are not good at math. im about 95% sure i want one, i just want to see a finished product.
