I would also be interested in a grill that looks like this. If you know anything about this please reply.

9232T221 -Aluminum Perforated Sheet 36" X 40", .250" Hole Dia, 58% Open Area, .032" Thk

Make it yourself it's pretty easy.

 

or with the matching surround with glossy paint.

 

any tips for a DIY job? I mean in terms of cutting & mounting so it isn't ghetto.

 

the lack of aftermarket support for this car really pisses me off sometimes

 

Just take out your grill it has like 4 screws under your hood. Then take off the surround part using a phillips head like 8 or so screws. Then trace that on paper and cut it out. Use that and a pair of kitchen shears to cut out your grill. Then if you want to you can cut off the thing that holds on the chrome Acura wings but if you don;t want to do that you can just take off the chrome part since its just screwed and you have to do it anyways. Make sure the mesh grill you made fits underneath the plastic part and the frame then paint it. Let it dry and put it back together. Its probably the easiest DIY to do to your car.

 

gingerbead pretty much answered your question. That's the material that looks the best IMHO.

You can see a DIY here:

http://silverknight.clickhere2.net/grille.html Just don't use the gutter stuff, use the mcmaster stuff please. The gutter stuff is kinda ghetto

Or you can buy one just like the pic you posted used in the black market:

The DIY is linked the big red info announcement at the top of the forum, look thru it, and don't forget to check out Chod's Acura CL FAQ: http://www.geocities.com/gamesmgr/chod/acura/

About 25% of all question asked by people with under 100 posts here can usually be answered in either the info thread or chod's faq (both are linked in my sig).
