but i guess its pretty much exactly the same shape as the TSX Acura grille, only ours is honda.

I really don't mind your grille! Come to think of it.... I haven't seen a CG with that grille yet
But i know two people here with a PWP that already has that grill.....
Before i bought the kit, i was always thinking if i should get it, because of the silver rings at the bottom. It looks kinda weird, i even considered painting is gunmetal!! but.... when i resell it, the value will decrease, so....i didn't do it~

I've seen a CHROMED Mugen grille (but it's customed) looks great, but that dude is in Turkey or something....so, no hope.
That's why i kinda don't want it too, because it looks exactly same as our Acura grille, but changed emblem. SOme people might think i just rip the Acura off to put a "H" in the middle

yea the grill is real nice not a huge fan of the rest of the kit tho.. reminds me of that JP kit a bit how the bottom of the lip extends out and the side skirts are squareish.
I think the wald grill would look sweet on Benz car... but CCColts, man i love how your car looks with the JDM oem theme i think the wald kit would be a step down from what you already have. havin said that, the front wald lip looks like it'd suit the oem rear and sides fairly well for people that already have the oem kit.
