ok here it is it was raining i will take some more in the daylight but it looks nice just was a bitch to put on.


i will take more tomorrow morning and edit and post them here what u guys think

 

dangit you painted the top piece as well

 

it was primer grey or abs what ever the hell it is i wasnt gonna leave it like that was there a certain way i was supposed to do it?

 

hmm should paint that top part black. looks weird with the blue. even if you get teh hood trim piece it will look like a big gap in there. someone else did the same thing you did but with white. i think it looks better with it being painted black.

check out this thread:

they have pictures of it done both ways.

looks good though! i might be getting one soon.

 

well once i figure out how to get the black cover piece to go back on...needs some cutting it will line up with it...and make everything look clean..

 

hey accsuperstar, do you know what piece is not needed for a euro r grill? i've read a bunch of threads, and some say you have to remove a piece and buy a new bottom piece to get the euro r grill to fit? do you have any idea what to do???

and stoke, your grill is nice...any future plans?

 

if you want to do it by yourself, carefully mask the surrouding pieces with masking tape and paint it with plastic spray paint for a quick fix. or pay some bodyshop to do it.

 

i can do it im just lazy ill wait a while future planes include full mugen kit and turbo...=)

 

I always liked that grill and plan on getting it eventually, but damm is it really that much of a pain to put on? And you have to do alot of cutting??
Thats a turn off for me
I was hoping simple replacement.

looks great except for the top part...it looks so much better on the manufacturer pics...i guess they photoshopped that part out.

 

no i think they paineted that part black...u dont have to cut the grill to get it to fit. it ust really is a pain though u cant bolt the bottom part down u have to use zip ties to get it secured on the bottom....after u snap it in place. if u want the radiator cover on the car then yes u will have some cutting to do

 

Does the top piece that isn't supposed to be painted attach to something or is it just there?

 

If there wasnt such a big gap that little cut out in the grille would look kinda tight. But that is if the grille was flush with the hood.

If its painted black is that part really not seen. Because if it is cant you just get the grill from phase, its basically the same thing but doesnt have the mugen logo. I think its about 220.

yea phase grill is basically the same thing but without that piece. the top of part of the mugen grill is supposed to be black so that you cannot see a gap. there are pictures of it done correctly and they are fine. i have a couple on my computer if only i wasnt on 56k here at home i would upload them ( i hate the hassles of aol - error this error that )

 

funny coincidence, my friend is working on the update for this site... http://www.liquid-pxl.com/development/passlimit/

he said he'll talk to the owner and see if he can set up a group buy for the phase grill if enough ppl are interested?

EDIT: I just set up a groupbuy thread http://www.acura-tsx.com/forums/show...&threadid=5375

well ill juss repaint it but for now it still looks alot better than stock

this website has pictures has mugen grill and phase grill with some other grill in the middle.

 

I believe you can leave the radiator cover off and that would solve the cutting problem.

 

That phase grille looks really good, even without the trim peice i think it looks nice. ALthough all three grilles look good.

 

that phase one definately looks sweet. in my opinion it is the cleanest looking one of the bunch. if i get a grill i want it to blend with the car not stand out like a sore thumb!

 

i like the mugen one just the same. and yes you could leave the cover off but i want it on so i will have some cutting to do. and the mugen one doesnt look like a sore thumb. lol

 

i wasn't implying that the mugen one stands out like a sore thumb. just stating that basically whenever i put on any type of aftermarket part i like to make sure it flows with the rest of the call. the mugen one is nice too bro, congrats.

 

=) thanks just clairifying, i like the phase as well but i think they want more than 220 dont they? iono cuz the mugen was 240 but with exchange rate change was 327... make sure u prepay and are gar. a price and that it wont change

 

exchange rate?? where did you order it??

 

in seattle WA...yen to dollars is fluctuating alot right now one day it will cost u one amount the next it will cost u more. i had to order it from japan

 

ic kingmotorsport sells it for 250 shipped

 

used too when i ordered it i was getting it for 240 shipped but exchange rate changed and screwed me0

 

used too when i ordered it i was getting it for 240 shipped but exchange rate changed and screwed me0

stokeless you need to read larchmounts thread about grammar haha j/p

i dont really know what you said. :P

 

sorry was hella tired when i typed that. kingsmotorsports used to have it before i ordered it then they stopped carrying it for a while. so i ordered it direct from japan. The exhange rate changed while it was on order but i didnt prepay so i got stcuk with a higher price. Sorry bout the typing i was hurting for sleep

 

haha npnp. i understand that feeling

 

ok im fixing the grill today gonna pull it off sand down the part that needs to be black and tape it all off then paint. ill take pix so u can see how it looks when finished dont know if i wll get it done today might be tuesday who knows im lazy lol.

 

any updates on new pics with your mugen grill

 

any one know where to buy the mugen grill on toronto, and how much ?

 

still, try www.kingmotorsports.com, they have sent some Mugen grilles b4 to vancouver, so i guess they can send it to toronto too, give them a call

 

ok. thank you dani

 

no problem!

 

wow, im surprised to hear that the exchange rate changed that much. its been pretty stable... 1.06~ yen : 1 dollar.

you made some japanese dude 80 bucks richer.

anywho, doesn't anybody else think the mugen/phase grille with stock chrome hood trim resemble the 6? "the chrome milk mustache"?

if not, i guess it's time for me to lay off the doobie...

 

no need to blame it on the doobie... as snoop dogg says "take two and pass it, it will not burn you, from the long beach chronicles, to the wall street journal"

 

stokeless you never took more pics? get off your lazy ass and do it!!
