I'm probably going to regret this...

But the vendor finally contacted me back stating he would ship to the US... I've changed directions, but could be a great deal for someone...

Don't look at it as shipping price. When I buy things, especially from ebay, I only look at the total amount. $256 USD still isnt that bad of a price for the grille. It is still probably less than from Honda.

It's 400-600 pieced together, not including shipping. So $256 is killer. He's had it for over two months...so feel free to respectively ask him to come down if you want...though I'm sure someone stateside will pay that for it...

The Honda grill is much better. But the Acura grill has potential with all the solid material at the top. If you could draw a cool design and take it to a Flow-jet and cut out some of it, you'd really could make thee Acura one cool.

Wow you guys obviously don't know that the CU2 TSX (09+) is assembled in Japan and is the Accord in Japan, so first of all the OEM Acura grill is gayer than AIDS, second its a Honda everywhere else in the world, The parts come in a honda package and all Acura engines say HONDA on them.
If I wanted to buy an American Accord or a Aspire I would have bought one. Now if I would have bought a TL it would have stayed a TL since its a American/Canadian car...

I just done like the honda grille.. whether it was A or H. Personally I would take the '11 Acura grille over any other grille offered right now. I would take it over the mugen grille too, seeing how it looks exactly the same except mugen in the middle. My two Abe Lincolns on the matter.
