I've actually had all of this done for a few months, but haven't taken the time to take/post pics.

Here's how the grill turned out (it's dirty)



Here's a shot of it on my car, but it's at night, under bad lighting, and in the rain.



Because of the quality and lighting in the pic, it almost seems there isnt a grill at all, but its the only pic I have at the moment. Also, I've taken care of the white that you see behind the grille. Keep in mind both of these pics are from a few months ago, I'll try to post some new ones tomorrow.

 

wow looking good man did you do the grill yoursellf?

 

I really like it! It looks so clean, its perfect. Very nice job

 

Very impressed...howd u do it

 

Real nice!! The white looks real good. I love how you cleared the 99-2002 headlight nicely. Where did you get the clear diffuser?

not bad..

 

Looks good

 

Grill looks great! Did you get your driver side rear door replaced/repainted? The white looks a lot brighter.

 

DIY plz

 

how did u do it? it looks great!!

 

did you do this or did you get a body shop to do it? it looks like a lot of cutting, shaving and molding...

 

im new to the acura community. do they make that grille for the 03 TL as well and if they do where can i buy one?
thanks, alex

 

Hey, how did you do that? I've been looking to do that to my 02 tl.

i think the 02-03 have different grill set up so it might not be the same

 

The 02-03 is totally different, this approach would not work due to the hood and grille being separate.

 

I haven't looked, but is it possible for me to still take my grill off then?

 

What exactly do you want to remove? The whole grille, or part of it?

 

enough of it for me to put the mesh on.

 

It would not turn out good, the 99-01 grilles are set up differently.

 

Hey I've been gone a while, so most of the questions I've been asked probably dont matter anymore. I'll still answer them regardless.

The lights I didn't clear, I purchased them off Ebay.
Yeah I made the grill myself, using gutter mesh for the, well, mesh part. The rest I did using a dremel, sandpaper, bondo, and a lot of patience. Its still holding up nicely, haven't had any problems whatsoever. The mesh is bonded to the black housing so it doesnt dent or deform at all.

As for a DIY, it wouldn't be all that bad to make other than I don't have another grill to make (for the step-by-step pictures and such), although I could probably make one for someone provided a grill and supplies.

No you can't buy this grill from anywhere, its DIY only.

Also, for the 02-03 grille this can be done as well. You just have to remember its one of those "no turning back" projects unless you have a spare.

Unkn0VV17, the car has never been repainted anywhere other than the front. Ive actually tried to recreate that image and never been able to. Just a fluke i guess :P

Thankyou for the comments, although it took me forever to respond

EDIT: Forgot to mention the car is 2" lower now than it was in that picture
