mugen's are nice, i thought about getting the mugen sport grille, 18" mirror face rims, and mugen sports suspension. it would take me awhile to get the cash up though.

It would look better if you could track down a larger Acura emblem. Would one from an MDX or older RL be any larger? That's what you really need... an emblem that's as large as (or slightly larger than) the original Honda badge.

Someone in the aftermarket needs to step up!

I rather just leave it at H, if you don't want it, get the Mugen grille and put the A in it.

Just a comment that the background should be done in RED so that the Acrua A stands out..... Try it out with a red sticker and see if you like it or not....

Hey I thought about that too . . . kinda like the Type R A's . . .


but the main thing that I feel about the current design is that the background doesn't seem to flow too well with the rest of the grill making it seem too obvious that you fixed it yourself . . . you should try something that makes it seem more "stock" or less obvious that that A was added on . . . eh but overall I give you credit for being one of the few actually trying to get this done and am glad you made some progess in doing it

i have a way of doing it so it will look sick, but it's going to take time and money

here me out

instead of the abs covering the old area, trim it to fit inside the hole, so it's flush

then take the jdm h logo and cut the h out of the sqaure
then cut the acura logo out of the round piece (will need sanding, bondo etc)
mate the acura logo to the square and have the whole thing re-chromed

so then when you put it on the grille, it will look perfect

then you will truely have a hacura with the outside of the honda emblem and the inside of the acura emblem.

I was reading through the thread. Do you have 2 sets of 06 euro-r front grilles? One in black and another in white? I saw pics of both color. If you have a set in white are you willing to sell it?

thanks
