What do you guys think of this mod?

I was scrolling through eBay looking for something else when this caught my eye:

Acura RL lower grille chrome kit

Nevermind that the photo labels are wrong...what do you think of this?

Personally, they're not my taste--too much chrome on the RL, looks fine on the TSX pictured. I believe this guy did a kit for the 3G TL as well that looked decent.

I don't like it, in fact I would remove all chrome off my car if I could without it costing too much.

I like the idea but it is probably cheaply made as most things like that on ebay are. Have you considered doing what many have on the TL such as just using a dremmel and installing high quality mesh on in place of the lower grille inserts?

Bob,

It will look GREAT on your RL when you wear your mouth grille!

Not bad looking. I like chrome accents. I wish I could have chrome wheels with my pax tires.

For $27 it's worth getting it and trying it out. If you don't like it then chuck it. I'd try it on my car but I have a front spoiler

Not bad, but I wonder if it wil pit and rust? I wonder if that fits the TSX as well? I have something similar on my Nissan Frontier, but its made of aluminum.

This is simply chrome look door edge molding pre-cut.

You can easily buy it in an auto parts store and try it out.

I did the same on my former TL, as did a few others on AZ. Now it is part of the lower grille trim on 07 TLs (not TL-S).

It held up ok, but eventually that plastic dorr edge molding will bubble, peel and discolor.
