Painted Grill on a 99-01?

What do you think of a painted grill on the older second gen? Kind of like the A-Spec with the outter part body colored and the wing cromed?

Or do you think the gutter grill looks better?

Or vDo's grill? (black mesh)

Keep in mind this is for the older second gen...Ive seen pictures of the newer second gens with the black plastic part painted to match the body and it looked hot.

Any suggestions about how to modify a stock grill to look hot? Its going to go on a Laguna tl.

I like the look of the mugen grill except for the very top part. I think it extends too far and makes it look kinda droppy. I actually was thinking about just taking the stock grill and having the outter crome bit sanded and painted and having nothing in the center. Is there mesh in the mugen grill? Whats the inside of it look like? Think something like that can be done w/ the stock grill?

There are no blacked out headlights for the tl (not including A-spec). Those were opened and painted.

Blakout_One,

Thanks...the Acura logo isn't lighting up though. It's just a piece of blue vinyl (sticker) behind the chrome symbol. If you look at the back of the grille, there are screws that loosen the ac symbol. Take that off and put the sticker on the flat surface and replace the symbol...
