Check The Grille and Bumper Mesh!!

Hi Guys! Was bored and had some time to kill and ended up installing a Bumper and Grille Mesh! Came out pretty sweet!! Used gutter mesh from Home Depot. That's all it cost me! Few Bucks. What do you guys think?

Good job with the grill, lower ones aren't perfect, but still good. I'm not a fan of the gold, and I especially don't like the license plate frame...

~Cheers~

creative. i dont think anyone's ever done the lower grille on their 3.2, so good job, although i think it does look better on the 2.5 since it doesn't have that dividing bar on it. also, unless you're planning on gold wheels/gold emblems, i think you should change your front grille to the stock chrome.

My car came with the gold Package from Acura. I didn't make it Gold. It means all emblems, ect.

How can you not like the Gold?? You have to pay extra at Acura to get the Gold Package, even if u buy brand new. Personally I think Gold stands out in the crowd and has a sense of elegance.

Yellow gold for me is weird... ANYTHING yellow gold. I'm sorry, m8. White gold, rose gold, but yellow is just too much for me. My family is in the jewelry business, too, and I don't wear anything yellow, aside from a very thin necklace from my beloved grandmother. I also can't justify spending the extra $250 at the dealer for gold emblems, where $250 could be put into performance, and that's why none of my cars had the gold package. Unfortunately, I had no choice BUT yellow gold when it came to my Indeed drink table, since the burled-wood finish had a gold trim. I could've gotten silver trim, but the black-wood would've detracted from the rest of the interior. To each his own, I guess.

~Cheers~

P.S. Are you planning on any other mods? I'd be glad to help performance-wise!

I don't like to wear gold on my body unless it's white gold. But I like the Gold trim on white cars. I kindda get the feeling that I might be pushing it from classy to ghetto a bit with the license plate frame. Have a thin chrome plate frame. Might use that instead.
Well I try to keep it not too flashy such as Big Decals and so on. But I might drop in an Inter cooler and I wanna get/make a rear lip spoiler. Any suggestions?

Intercooler? Why?! You're not boosting, why would you need an intercooler? It'll slow you down by causing a blockage in air flow. Rear wing-wise, you should check out the universal M3 lip-style wings on eBay. They're cheap and look pretty good. You can cut them to fit.

~Cheers~

Thanks guys! I used gutter mesh from home depot. 5-pack would cost anywhere between $5-10. Lucky for me they were on sale and got a 5-pack for $1.
Your gonna need a lotta patience and a lotta cuts on your hands! Ouch still hurts. Worth it though.

unless you've got some serious cash, dont even think about it.

im not bashing you, so dont take it the wrong way but i would definately think about ditching the gold.

i had the gold package on my pearl white white 3.2 TL and could not stand it. it looks so tacky. its not like its solid gold. i didnt have that gold around my grill actually i never saw that i dont think.

i have some pics when i did the mesh thing when i first got the car, but i did mine without an emblem which i liked better. then i got sick of it and made it the way i have it now. i masde my emblems out of a special paint mix that i made myself, black with the slightest hint of silver glitter. nicer than nice on the white.

here is a quick link, there are a just a couple pics of different looks i have went with. http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4291850917

I like your rims but looks uncomfortable! I'm not digging your grille though. You should have it the way I have. Super Charger shouldn't cost that much compared to a Turbo. So I might go with it.

if price isn't an issue, reliability will be. our transmissions are not made for any kind of FI. just fair warning.

Yeah I was thinking about the tranny issues if modified. 3.2 Tranny is not a Sport tranny and kindda reminds me of the 91' Q45's tranny I use to drive back in the day. Jersey, as far as your grilles go, sorry not feeling them at all
