ok...so someone started a thread in the photoshop forum about changing the chrome on the front bumber and grill to the color of the car. Does anyone know what the best way to go about this? I dont really like the look of the shinny chrome. Look at the the photoshop of the matching paint, and you'll understand me.

NJtsx, I ordered and recieved the JDM euro-r grill trim piece in Arctic Blue Pearl (The same piece that is chrome on our cars) for my ABP 6-spd navi. I just recieved it a couple of days ago but I decided to go with the Mugen grill. I'm selling it ($50 U.S.) so if yur interested, reply or email me. frivolosity@hotmail.com. Also, you can get the hood trim piece at www.boomplustoys.net.

There are pics of the european version of the TSX/Accord posted on here somewhere and it looks like only the middle parts are the same color as the car. on the JDM version is there any chrome on the front besides the emdlem? anyone have pics of the JDM one?

the JDM and european version of the regular (non euro R) accord have chrome grills. the grill is the same "aviator" style as ours but with the H instead of the A. As for the euro R the ring is painted.

it is like the 02-03 TL aspec. regular 02-03 TLs have regular chrome grills while the aspec comes with the painted ring. you can try a search on www.acura-tl.com and find the picture
