well, after surfing endlessly and looking at RL and Legend pics on carphotosite and comparing them one by one...

I'd like to know people's opinions on the two different grills...

RL

or

Legend

my vote is the legend btw

 

Acura. The H in the non-USDM grill is ridiculously large, but the design of the non-USDM is much cleaner. If someone would make a badgeless black chrome JDM one (they make a chrome badgeless Acura one already), I'd be interested.

And to go off tangent a bit, the non-USDM headlights are 100x nicer than ours!

 

I know, the jdm lights are so nice. The amber on our usdm lights messes up the flow.

 

I prefer the amber on both the front and rear of every car I've seen. Amber is a great safety feature but some countries allow clear at the front and red at the rear - both of which are less visible to others. BTW - they allow red turn signals in the rear in the U.S. because it's cheaper and nobody uses them anyway!
I noticed that the TL has red turn signals at the rear - I thought that Honda was into safety?

 

Ever been behind another RL at night? The RL's red LED taillights are so insanely bright that I don't think it much matters that they're not amber.

I find amber turn signals obnoxious -- but not as obnoxious as all the yahoos with Mercedes, Audis, and Jaguars who leave their rear fog lights on all the time.... ugh.

 

I prefer the Acura for the same reason mentioned above. The H is way too big.

 

Anyone know of a aftermarket grill for this car??

 

It's the amber that allows you to recognize an intended direction change earlier than a red light and that's a safety feature that is used throughout the world. LED's act milliseconds faster and that was advertised as a safety feature by Cadillac but they couldn't afford the amber LED's.
I agree that rear foglights can be an anoyance. Volvo's were the first to implement in EU and USA but people in the USA don't turn them off. It is illegal in EU to leave them on unless in reduced visibility. Drivers behind rear foglights frequently flash high beams at people who forget to turn them off. In the U.S. it is grounds for road rage and gun-slinging.

 

The Legend H grill you have in picture is for a Tech Legend. A badegless emblem is available as i've seen in the order sheet, but i went with what you have in display anyway.

Legand grill looks to much like my 06 TL.

 

I like the RL grille. Also think the RL would look really hotter with the chrome work on the lower air dam, like on the Mugen Legend:

 

I like the honda emblem/grill, but you would have to do the entire legend theme.
Is there a honeycomb grill out there similar to the mugen grill
