I'm planning on getting a new grill, but I wanted to see what looks good on your guys' cars first before I buy one. I'm not sure If I should spend the money to cover the upper, lower, and the fogs. Or should I just do the Upper and lower. Or maybe just do the upper since it's only $30.

 

I think I might just get the upper grille...Does it look alright this way? This is a pic of the stilleto grille?

 

i bought that grill , im scared to put it on , all u get is that mesh , u have to cut out your grill then tie or glue the new one on

 

So is it not worth the $30 then? Is there like alot of modifying to the car itself to make it fit?

 

home depot, gutter guard, $6

 

Hahaha...I'm doin that instead...Screw that Stilleto crap. I'm makin my own.

 

heres my grille

 

Here my Grill

Comming Soon "NEW Custom Chrome Grille"

 

all this looks too "bling" for me

 

This is the same gutter guard from Home Depot, I painted it gloss black. I think black will look good on your SSM with the black wheels.




You have to make sure you take out the bar in the middle and the part that sticks out to hold on the (A) logo. It sticks out too much and if you look from the side you can see where the thing is. This is an old picture before I cut it out and painted it black and you can kind of see the bar behind it. I just used a Dremel blade to cut out most of the stuff, then a sander bit to smooth everything out.

 

in my opinion all those chomed mesh grills look like ass. very RICER aka tacky. the only grill ive seen that looks good on the 99-01 TL is the stock one. even one with just black mesh looks weird, too much open space. i saw someone who color matched the chrome parts of the stock grill, and i thought that looked pretty good. and please pleaseee dont put mesh on the lower grill

then again, its your car not mine.

 

ma grillz


opps wrong one...

 

see i like that nice and simple

 

 

Yeah I went to home depot...got some gutter guard...brought it home...looked under the hood...unloosened three of the plugs that hold the danged thing on...went for the other two...wouldn't budge...twisted and pulled some more...didn't budge...closed the hood...looked at that Acura logo and said...wow nice grille and threw the gutter guard in the garbage...n/m

 

they don't twist, they slide out you just have to push the tabs down

 

... time to fish thru the garbage and try again

my grill... m satisfied with the look i think it blends well with the rest of the grille...

 

BEAST!

 

wait, so what did you do?

the gutter guard thing takes lil practice, they come in a 6 pack and i ran through about 3 until i got it perfect. you really got to line up the gaps and the screws right.

 

Did actually throw the gutter guard away, just gave up. I might try it again later this afternoon. I got 3 of those black knobs off, they are the ones that hold the bottom of the grille on, but I can't get the other top 2 off...

 

My fav

heres mine:

 

 

do you have to cut out the honeycomb grille thats behind to put this one on or just put on top....

 

hey is that the grille tech grillz? I was thinking of getting that set in black upper n lower.

 

go to the DIY section. there is a quick DIY of how to do it. not really a DIY, just some pictures.

 

I just got back to the custom grille job with the gutter guard and looks awesome...I didn't even both opening up the grille to sandwich the dang thing in there. I just cut out precise pieces for above and below the acura logo and that chrome bar...and very precise even though I just eyeballed it...then I spray painted it twice over with the ssm paint that I got as touch up paint and then fastened it on to the grille...It looks so cool. It looks stock even from real close up. I will have pictures for it on Friday or Saturday when I get my calipers painted red and the new 18's on...

 

yeah its grille tech... it fits perfectly and is real easy to do just zip tie it over the factory grille... adds a nice touch .. black would be a nice, subtle touch i chose silver so its looks a little further from stock though... id say def overpriced for wut they sent me

 

 

good to know its an easy install. at first i was thinking silver but i changed my mind, now im really going for dark accents versions adding more chrome. but it looks good on ur car.

 

see im thinkin of buyin the upper and lower grill from ebay.. heres a pic. but the problem is. im so dam lazy .. to take shit apart.. how long would this take to do?

 

Old pic, I took off the 3.2TL now.

 

 

i thought i was dumb before for putting home depot parts on my old civic. i had put a "home depot lip" on my civic it didnt look bad but it didnt look good and i also had made my own intake out of pvc , lol ne way i guess i might be taking a lil trip to the underground auto parts "home depot"......

 

 

Very unique, I wonder how the (A) would look like in there instead of the acura badge.

 

The mesh grill doesn't sit flat, it is in shape of a V hence the A logo will need to build out to sit in the middle of the grill. I think it will look funny if the A was mounted to one side. Originally, I didn't add the Acura badging but the gill just looks empty.

 

need more pics neotls.....
