New Grill!!! *pain in the ass*
omg iam done but my god what a pain in the ass..... and i dont even know if i like it...
God..... If your thinking of doing it dont even try and use the 98 grill, just buy the 97 one it would take like 1 hour max...
Got pulled over by the cops so i had to mount the plate somewhere...... gah..

i liked how the bottom grill looked much better, for some reason im not really a fan of then top custom grill, i think they look fine on our CL's
BUT, that is the best grill material I have scene, i dont know where to buy that type of material, im not a fan of the gutter guard look, where did u say you bought from again?

It looks again, better in real person. I dont know i can't seem to take a good picture of them both at the same time and i got a Digital SLR 8.1MP so i just dont know... Hrmm..
It was a pain in the ass cuz i wanted to keep the OEM Mounting holes and didn't want to custom a whole new grill. So i had to cut out all the 98 grill. There is is like 4300000 pillars
Sand it all down paint over it, which took like 3 hours. and still couldn't get the last 2 pillars on each side because the mounting holes are right behide them. The 97 Grill only has 4 pillars. Do the math
I had to search Hi and low for this material it was shipped from some custom metal factory in OHIO.
In Toronto. I think the whole combo will look much better when the WW lip is on...

Nice look man.... 
Gotta agree with you..I just put in a gutter guard grille (check the avatar)- took ~ 1 hour and i like the look alot. Sucks that the po po made you put your emblem back on. I haven't had that problem yet..
Noob out (Still can't figure out how to put pics into the reply...help if you can)

Peace, Love & Acura
Why would the police care if your car's grille had an Acura emblem on it? That doesn't make any sense. Oh well, nice job on the grille. I like the pillers at the edges, makes it look distinctive.

yeah it isnt easy to do. i got a 97 so it was a little easier for the top. 
im in the process of redoing it right now so i have no grills at the moment.
