So it's just a black plastic insert that goes into the surround of the stock grill?

It looks paintable, but once you paint it the overall look is pretty close to a painted stock grill.

I try it in black (too much black),in grigio (the grill seems made look smaller) and gray (it heightens it)...
I think this is the better choice...

I like the original Honda Accord Euro/JDM grill over US Acura TSX grill...

All new Acura's grill are HIDEOUS and FUGLY....

Why couldn't they stick with previous gen's design?

I still love my 07 TL-S....
