What do you guys think looks better on a 98 black CL . A custom silver or black grille? I'm dyin' to change out my stock grille for the "gutter" grille but am wondering which color "gutter" to buy. Saw silver for the first time on a white CL and was impressed. Would like to know what a silver grille would look like on a black car. Just wondering which would look better on black. Any pictures?

Thanks.

yo, after looking at this, you'll want to go with the silver.

are you meshing th e97 or the 98 grill? if its the 98, do you got any tips for a clean install; if its the 97, how mush did you pay for the grill?


Hope ur car ends up like this:

 

I like the silver, thats what I did on mine and I think it looks really good.

 

Silver DOES look good!

 

Hey Woodek, if you don't know already your grille is a 1 piece grille, so you can't take it apart to mesh it. You probably already know that so i'll go STFU

 

I have the same grille as you.

Damn........no I didn't know. Oh well! It was a good thought anyway. Thanks.

 

You can get the 97 grille and mesh that. The reason you can do the 97 one is cause it's 3 pieces, teh chrome ring comes off and you can put the mesh under it. If you order it off of acuraautomotiveparts.net (i think that's the site) you only have to get 2 or 3 pieces. Or you can try to buy one from someone on the board (which i'm in the process of doing).

 

I had the silver but ended up doing black on my black CL. I thought the silver was too shiney (like reflective) but thats JMO

 

Do black

i think it looks better!

 

Once you go black you never go back. HAHAHAH
Before I painted mine black I had it in Silver and I thought it stood out tooooooo much. too flashy for me. Black is more sleek and classy.

YBlegal : That car looks familiar.. Thanks for the compliment!!!!

 

where u get black mesh from ???? hell i'll give it a try .. only takes like 20 min to do

Just a thought........ What would the grille look like on a black CL, if the trim was black also?

 

Yeah i really wanted to either get my chrome black chromed or painted body color (like around the grill, window surrounds) I think it would look really good. I know CLPower/Ghander/Scott wanted to do this but im not sure if he ever did

 

BLACK CHROME!!!! After putting the kit on my trunk, I want all my chrome black chromed! I think that if you paint it body color, it will be less classy, but black chrome will look pimp!

 

What material have you fellows used for your mesh grilles? I've experiemented with a few, aluminum type, window screening type... but I need something in between. what have you used and where did ya get it? Thanks

 

ummmm, this question has been asked like a zillion times, do a search and see what you come up with.


But i might be able to help. First off, you have a 98 grill that is a one piece grill; i tried the whole screen thing also, and it sucked i couldn't get the darn screen to stay on. well anyways to mesh your grill (and do a good job at it) you'll have to shell out about 100 bucks to buy a 97 grill. the place where i got it was here. now some really good instructions for actually meshing the grill can be found here. well, hope this helps!

 

I just got one for $5.50 on ebay

 

there was a grille for a 97 on ebay for like $5, didn,t have the chrome center piece and said it had a small crack inside,(never see it anyway

 

cancel that idea, I guess BLACURA got it!!!!!!! Oh well I tried

 

sorry man the dude sellin it lives like 5 min from me so no shipping, i'm just gonna pick it up and save money I bought that one cause you don't need the center piece and it doesn't matter if the black is cracked cos you put the mesh over it anyway. keep lookin though, you'll find one. maybe try posting in Black Market?

 

I would love to black chrome the chrome part of my grill
