Interchangeable Grilles TSX to TL?

Does anyone here know if the new TSX grille is interchangeable with the TL grille?

The TL is brushed aluminum and the TSX is chrome. But, they look to be the same size when right next to each other.

If it fits, I'm thinking about a swap for chrome on my TL.

This is a no-flame zone!

It has been done but I don't think they ever said how much work was involved. I believe the member was overseas.

Thanks, Dan...

Mmm. I think Acura is too wise to have two different grilles that are "almost" the same size if they could cut costs for tooling, etc. by having one size that fits both but with different finishes and inserts.

I'll work on some photo comparisons......

idk, it looks close but acura might just do it cuz it fits and doesnt expect to ever have a need to interchange them. thats probably why u dont see options on this

I finally found the member that did it: https://acurazine.com/forums/members/tl-tourer-163929/

Unfortunately the pics and his homepage aren't working any more. He actually didn't change grilles, he just cut the middle bar from the TL and stuck it in the TSX grille.
