Question My mother just picked up a TSX, one question

Howdy Folks,

My mom just picked up a brand new TSX (I'm thinking it's a 2006...maybe 07') in Premium White Pearl and she loves the car to death. I'm also very impressed with this car. However, my mom doesn't like all the chrome in the front grille and wants a more 'sporty' look. I've done some research and the Euro R (Honda) and Mugen grille look very nice, but I don't think she wants any emblem on the front whatsoever. She just wants a clean black grille.. Like this one I found on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-A...spagenameZWDVW

Would this work with her car though? I fear there may be slight differences in her front bumper as it's a 2006-2007 and not a 2004-2005.

Any suggestions or advice would be most appreciated. Thanks so much for your time and expertise!

Cheers,

Terry Best

Your mom wants a Mugen grill?

I personally think the stock grill looks great, but whatever. I don't know if it would work or not. I think most likely it would.

The revised bumper and hood most likely means that grill will not fit. If she doesn't like the chrome, why not just get the Mugen grill and not put the emblem in? It's not like it's permanently attached or anything.

Welcome, TBest. As for the year of your mom's car, it's most likely an '06, possible '05 if there are any left on the lots. 2007's will not be out till this December or so.

And for the grille....I'm not positive, but it probably won't fit, as the front end changed a little for '06.

Glad she is enjoying the car, it's a great ride for sure.

You guys want proof that I didn't buy a new car? Let me forward you my credit history ;-)

Thanks for all the feedback guys. I wasn't aware that the Mugen badge is a removable part of the grill. Seems awfully expensive...oh well.

I'm going to head over to her house today and take a peak at the car. Who knows, maybe I can do some magic without having to buy anything (Home Depot TSX grille

Somebody just very recently here posted a DIY of color matching the chrome trim to the cars color.

Here it is.
