Look what I got from FedEx today -- Mugen Grill and Trim

Will post pictures once I get the chance to install the parts this week.



Ordered from Pole Position Products

Took almost two months as the Mugen Part was shipped from Japan (already painted ABP). Paid 372.00 shipped for both pieces.

OEM Acura grill looks sharp, why are people replacing them? It's not bad like Nissan grills where people are COMPELLED to out and wait in line for aftermarket (billet) grills...

Pictures. Not the perfect fit of OEM but still works. Since I couldn't read Japanese I don't know if the front three clips of the top portions of the engine bay should be fastened. Also, you will notice a small gap at the very bottom of the grill.

Nice dude! I was wondering if they did a good job to match the paint. I have the same color as you do, should get mine in a couple of weeks, can't wait, I also ordered the whole Mugen body-kit as well. Just waiting for my G-Games rims to come in.

Oh, you forgot the JDM radiator cover. You will need that to fit correctly on top.

Johnny,

Is this what you are referring to?



Will this allow all the holes including the front three to line up?

I was a fan of the original "A" grill and JDM grill until I saw this thread. That is sooo hott looking from now on everytime someone looks at your ride they will just stare/concentrate on the MUGEN.

I actually live on Cougar Mountain (ie Lakemont). I can meet you somewhere in Bellevue during lunch (ie Bellevue Square). Shoot me a PM with a time and place.

cause they like to mod there car and not everyone likes all that chrome on the front end. I sure as heck know I didnt so I replaced it the euro R grill and the fact that I am a JDM whore.

I love the look of this grill!! OK, now I have to ask the stupid questions. I am a total noob when it comes to mods. The only thing I have done is a lip spoiler. If I wasn't able to install this myself, (which is entirely likely although my husband may figure it out) can you take it somewhere to get it installed? Also, do they make this grill for an 06?

It is pretty easy to install. Just pop the clips of the cover underneath the hood and remove/replace. I believe Mugen does make a front grill for a 2006 TSX as well.

Wow, really nice! I love the look of the Mugen grille.

I just had my stock grille color matched along with the hood trim in CGP for $30!

Yes, I remember. The pictures were taken in Lakemont (park across from the fire station) near my house.
