Chrome Grille mod - TSX 2011

I am a newbie here and can't post pics right away into the forum.

Well, I haven't finalized on this look yet. Just want to get some feedback. Let me know what you guys think.

Please take a look at the following links:

Before: http://s1187.photobucket.com/albums/...t=IMG_0687.jpg

After: http://s1187.photobucket.com/albums/...t=IMG_0689.jpg

It would be cool if any senior member can copy & post the pics back in this thread on my behalf. Thanks!

You may be onto something there. Let's see a photo from farther away.

(BTW, just go to Photobucket, click on the IMG code link, and paste that into your message.)

Since the 2011 has alotta chrome, this actually looks good so far but a far away shot is key

The horizontal dimensions make the car look wider which I like. I still don't like the 3 1/2 to 4 inches of solid grill at the top. Is anyone able to chop it with thin chrome strips from top to bottom and the Acura badge in the middle?

Hmmmm, I just noticed yours is a 2011. The 09-10 models have 4 bars there instead of 2.

Here's a photoshopped 2010. The 2 bars on the 2011 look much better.




An a photoshopped Plasti-Dip grille just for kicks

Agreed!

Also, good job with the Photoshop. But I'm not sure if the 09's and 10's have 4 'bars'. Instead they just match the lower grille on them. Haven't seen them in person though.
Any 09 or 10 TSX owners can correct me if I am wrong?

I meant there are 4 horizontal bars on the black part of the grille on the 09-10 models. There are vertical bars too, but chrome strips could be applied to the horizontal parts.
