Finally, a new grill for 09 TSX
I'm not a big fan of the stock grill, but this has to be the most fugliest grill I've ever seen! IMO. Also, check the price, must be made out of gold.
So far, the painted grill looks the best!

... I can't believe someone looked at the TSX and said "dayum that would look amazing with a fine mesh grill... and in fact just mesh the whole front!"

you think the stock is worse than that? good gracious. Have you seen the match painted stock grills? they look great on the 09's. also, painting your stock grill is cheaper than buying and installing that crap

that is absolutely disgusting...takes away from the "edm" and "jdm" ness of the car. Just my opinion though.

I'll admit I am not, or rather, was not a big fan of the factory grill, but on most colors it is growing on me to the point I like it and painting it is a great option if you want something different.

I haven't painted mine yet because 1) I was quoted $350 and 2) I worry that I'll come to miss how it was. Plus I'm thinking of picking up that V6 model so this will save me some grief when I trade in. I can see the sales guy saying "most people don't want modified cars, so we can only give you a few bucks for your car."

Unless it's an Acura dealer most places won't even know the car didn't come that way... after all how many cars come from the factory with people wanting to paint the grille?

I think it's photoshopped because the A symbol is set against solid color in clear contradiction with logic, which begs the question, does this thing actually exist and will it ever exist?
(of course the tires and backdrop are clearly 'shopped)

Honestly, I think it would work if you just have the top part and not the bottom. It might be dependant on color two. For example, with silver the grille looks ok, but other colors not so much.

Yeah, that is hideous. Loving my painted stock grill. Looks way better, and for the $350 quote to get it painted, that is crazy. Was that quote from the dealer? Mine was $170.00 and I hear up in Phoenix the dealerships are painting some of them when they arrive.

I was quoted $350 by the place that the dealer uses, and they claimed they had done this to a TL already. I'll definately shop around, but I'm not sure if I want to paint the grill yet. I have the polished metalic color, and it plays well with the chrome. Paint matching looks particularily sick with black and white TSXs.
