I PM'd Grille-Tech yesterday. They responded with this:

Andre:

I'm sorry we don't have the CL grille inserts available; however, we work on many other makes and models besides Acura's. As a business, we must concentrate on several options besides investing all our efforts into just one. We have nothing against the CL, but we just simply haven't developed it yet.




I guess it's not happening any time soon.

We could always try to round up some CL members who wants to purchase a grill and see what happens. I'll be more than interested to buy one

andre

I am more than interested in buying a custom grille too, but have not found anything nice...except for the Grille-Tech prototypes. I HATE the home depot stuff!

I swear, if someone would finally make these grilles, and a SEMA kit, they would be rich!!!

I'm guessing since the CL has been discontinued, companys dont want to invest in making ANYTHING for CLs. With all the aftermarket crap for mitsubishis, dodge neons, honda, and all those other lower end cars, you'd think the CL would have some, but there's nothing!!! No tail lights, grilles, lip kits, etc...it sucks. The TSX even has a bunch of aftermarket add-ons. I had to put the BMW M5 spoiler...love it though.

I'll just have to pay a bit more and have a true custom grille...one of a kind...i guess it's better than having something everyone else has.

contack rondog, he is making a full line of upper grills for the cl. If this goes well he may also offer a lower grill.

allenn

Not enough CL's to make it profitable.

andre

that's what i figured, but this website could really boost sales if it is a good product...just my opinion...

We already have a upper grille and we are currently working on a lower grille. Should be ready in a week.

What about the TSX and all the TL grilles?.... there were 3-5 people who went and got their cars measured for templates...



I am tired.... some many companies are just so dumb when it comes to making money... the demand was there. they dragged their feet for so long, that I am wiping my hands of it ever becoming a reality..

Get yourself a RonJon grille... he is not dumb, he likes to make money not sit there and wait...

I have a Ronjon Grille and it looks . Plus it totally replaces the grille so you can keep the stock as a spare and the customer service is top-notch.

bojangling

Where can I get Ronjon, I wanna be as well.....

VeeralS05

yeah, only thing about the ronjon is i dont have the money for is and i'm on a tight budget.... and the homedepot grille is ghetto... If i could get a grille for around 200 i would be very happy

You pay to play. The material alone is over $200 as its a whole grill, so the price is pretty good. The man needs to make a living, hes not gonna give this shit away just cause it seems like a lot of money to some. Hell, I'm on a tight budget as well, yet I bought one.

chef chris

I don't think so. You may want to do some more research on that statement partner.

so true. http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.org has the frame of our grill for around 40.00. hmmmm

mclarenf3387

Its not just the frame. Its the whole inner grille as well. Your WHOLE GRILLE is replaced. Not just that little peice outside. The whole thing. Look at it again now. THat peice is 90+40+10(lip peice)+screws and bolts and then he needs to buy the mesh and then modiffy the grille. It comes out to close to $200 in parts. Its not that hard to understand.

VeeralS05

what if i just wanted the inner piece thats made to fit our grille perfectly, instead of the whole thing... cause that homedepot stuff is hard to bend and shape correctly...plus the install on it is hard cause you have to cut up lil holes in the grille, trust me i tried and i gave up cause it looked like shit.

Red-CL

I didn't know he was for sale.

JaredGMS

PLEASE??

mclarenf3387

Not the greatest pics but everyone whos seen it like it a lot(those who know what it looked like before at least).

chef chris

Easy there tiger, no need to get nasty. You want to spend the money, be our guest. If someone wants a different option, that doesn't make them a bad person.

well, the parts come out to over $240 alone, thats including the grille housing, the outer grille trim, the mesh, and all the screws and bolts add up too. Then the cutting, painting, assembling, shipping and love all add up, i mean, i was just doing it because I got so many PMs about it. They haven't been flying off the shelves, but Ive sold a few. Now if you want to modify your own grille, I wasn';t going to initially do it, but I am thinking about it now. Check out this thread and you will have all your questions answered. its $200 plus the shipping back, if you send me your grille. You can still drive around no problem, it'll just look a little funny. I would modify and ship back. I accept Paypal and credit card payments. and shipping back to you should take 1-3 days depending on how close you are to NY.

RonJon Grille Sale...

mclarenf3387

You were the one saying that it wasn't that much money, and called me out on my numbers. And I have no problems with more options. Thats what makes this country great, we don't have to go to one person for a part, others can sell the same thing for what they want. Unfortunatley, right now besides comptech, not a lot of other companies have invested much time and effort as rondog has with RonJon to come out with products for the CL.

chef chris

He is certainly allowed to make money & doesn't have to justify that. BUT he'd be out of business in a short time if he paid retail numbers for all those parts. I would think he's a bit smarter than that, etc.

As to the rest of your statement above, I agree. We need more options for the car(for all budgets), absolutely. I wish I had somewhere else to store the bodykits & grills> I'd buy in bulk & sell them myself.

rondog

Well, actually, i am paying retail, since each grille is different. I can't stock the 01-02 housings, and 03s (since they are actually different parts) and the colors of the outer grilles come in over 10 colors. So I do get a small discount, but nothing significant, pretty much retail. If this does pick up, I would then buy in bulk, but when testing the market, I can't dive in head first and buy 12 grilles to get a discount. besides, alot of people complain that the CL doesn't get much products when those same people don't buy them when they are available. Can't base your sales on here say alone.

chef chris

Agreed. Look how long it took me to sell the 20 Versus kits, at well below retail.

wow...nice looking grilles
