black mesh grille! inspired by @cUr@-TL
#122
Well i did this mod today on my 1999 tl, it is a great diy. It was only 2 dollars for the gutter gaurd at home depot. I recommend to anyone that plans to do this to make sure you have a good tool to cut the mesh with, i had a bad tool and it took 2 hours to get it right. Right now I just left the mesh silver exactly how I bought it, i am comtemplating painting it black, but im not sure it looks pretty cool now, heres a pic. Opinions?

chrome chicken wire belongs on ruined civics....
i believe the TL deserves a OEM (quality) grill at least.
but i understand wanting to change things for cheap... if it keeps you happy then yahoo!
this i just my opinion.. nobody get upset

Yea same here I really love your TL, I've been looking for someone who has blacked out the grill but havent found any, this looks nice probably what I'm going to do to mine, and also were did you find those clear headlights?

Will have to fiberglass this to make it even with the rest but to lazy plus u can't even notice it unless you are really looking for it.
In the 1st 3 pictures it was painted flat black i did't like it so when i was done. I hit it with black eboxy gloss spray paint and clear coated it. What do you guys think?

Can't wait to get my car front-end lined up like i want then painted. My paint is fading i love ur glossy black. I remember when i first got my car every weekend i would wash it with dish soap. I learned my lesson no dish soap for me lol. I don't know if it was given a cheap paint job before i got it but i did move to Florida from north. idk but now i gota get a paint job. Only car wash soap for me lol... any advice on color to paint my car. I want black but my friends say change it up. Gunmetal grey or that rare blue would be nice. i plan on painting it myself. i know it isnt easy but when im done i will post a diy for those with the same problem.

Thank you! I was waiting for someone to debadge the grill. Wanted to see what it looked like.
I don't like it. I'll keep it stock. But you saved me a bunch of time, and well, very little money. lol
