Thanks to PhiTL, I made my own... I bought the Aluminum Gutter guard in silver, painted it black. I didn't like the way it looked. I was seeing right through the gutter grille, which is the old grille without the metal wings.. Observe:

Then I went back and bought another roll of gutter guard, but this time in plastic, and black. The holes are thicker, it was a little more tough to install, but looks better..you can see the holes more than what's behind it..Still not good enough to me, but I'll live with it for now...Observe again:

The new one Looks good!!
What a difference it makes to the whole styling of the front. Looks sleeker.
Call me wierd but I actually like the wings on the side of the Acura symbol.
But on the stock grill, I can't stand that area around the symbol where it is solid compared to the rest of the grill.
Maybe I'll do that too once i see it in person.

Vin says 2001, but it's really a 2000 with an upgraded cupholder!!

Looking good ..... BUT .....
I have to agree with Edub-TL on this one.
that why I cut my stock plastic grill out so it doesn't show through the gutter guard grille
