What if it were all Redondo Red?

All black seems a little severe. From afar it may look like a gaping hole.

Although there is likely a Honda grill solution for that, similar to the 2006-08 CMBS equipped models. I cannot find a picture of a current CMBS equipped Legend, but that does not mean it does not exist. Here is the pre MMC Acura implementation.

Um...that looks weird. I was considering the Carbon Fiber grill that's currently available on ebay for the TSX. I wonder if that would fit...

This may, in fact, be the 2009 Honda Legend, with CMBS grill, from a Russian site. CMBS behind the plastic H shield.

The CMBS on my car is significantly larger than the photo above, I think it's just a regular badge.

I think the 2009 RL looks great. The grille looks fine. The color looks fantastic!

what about color matching just the bottom part of the "V" in the grill...or painting that part black and leaving the part with the emblem silver? Maybe?

or the alternative...just let how it looks now grow on you! lol...i've thought about options for my 3G nbp...but I still find that I love how it looks. As more cars start coming with bigger grills up front...we'll get used to how it looks.

as scary as it may be, I thought the 4G TL nose looked much worse.

One time I put side by side RL, M45, GS grills and guess what...RL looks better. Try it.

thanks for the pic. As usual I didn't know who you were...could you possibly have been the guy who wanted to hook me up with some nicer wheels, maybe?

I agree...my stepdad picked up an 09, which is why I picked up his 04 for cheap...and I thought it was nasty! It's growing on me though as I get used to seeing it it doesn't look half bad!
