2010 rl

I have a 2006 RL and might upgrade to a 2010. A couple things, because I don't know much about them.
1. the front grille... horrible. Is there any after market grills that would work for this car?
2. I'm sure it's a stretch but is there more aftermarket for the 2010 model than say my 2006?

Only reason I might change is I found one with only 56k on it compared to mine with 185k

Thanks all.

Your best odds of a grille exchange are to order a Japanese-market Honda Legend grillle, which should be a bolt-in fit but of course will have a Honda logo. There are people here who've ordered parts from Japan. COVID won't make that any easier, of course, and trying for a 10-year-old body part for a car that didn't sell huge numbers in the first place may require a little searching and a little luck. But I succeeded in getting a Japanese Legend badge for my trunklid some time back, so it isn't impossible.

Karlos, you make an excellent point about the option of painting here. Personally, I think Plan A is to paint the shield (or "beak") flat surface the color of the body, leaving the edges and logo chromed.

I like the looks of all three above a lot better than I like the OEM. I think the burgundy one works especially well, because the car is dark enough that the dark beak disappears rather than being outlined against the black grille below it. I love these cars, but Acura was so damn stubborn about their damn beak, on that basis alone the car deserved to die.
