Thumbs up Front Grill job....

I followed the FAQ posted by Snook on the grill install and finished the project this evening. It was a very easy install, but a little tedious.
If the photo does not turn out; follow the BlackTL2K link in my signature and you'll see the photo on page two.

Instead of cutting the wings and ruining that piece of grill, cant you just leave the entire piece off and put on an Acura emblem similar to the one on your rear trunk?? I think that would be a lot cleaner, and you wouldnt see the rough cut edges you would get if you cut the stock grill.

I went to the Gallery and checked out Snook's ride and a few others without the wings. It's a tough call whether to leave them on or not. I think with the NBP color, the more chrome I have, the better the car looks. I hope I get to see another NBP TL without the wings so I can compare.
Your right about the MOD bug Edub; at least this mod didn't cost me anything: I already had some left over gutter guard from my real gutter project
