I am going to start this project, crossing fingers for 1st of year shipping on an affordable H or A grille for the 2g TSX.

kowloonsniperhk

Yeah that's it. How would we like an "H" and an "A" version?

For me to get these grilles in the H here from Honda the cost is like $600-650. I can make them in Fiberglass for half that

thunderbt3

Interested in a fiberglass A

Would they come pre-painted in silver or just primed?

kowloonsniperhk

Fiberglass A would be nice. I'm still unsure whether to do a Honda conversion

Shift_Acura

What type of finish would they have MrHeeltoe?

Life Dies

If you were going to pay for a hooker, you wouldn't compromise for a tranny just to save a few bucks would you? Buy the real thing.

kowloonsniperhk

You don't even have a TSX troll

Life Dies

Stop telling me that.

Life Dies is at it again....Looks like the temporary ban needs to be made permanent!

We'd be selling these in unpainted fiberglass and in carbon fiber. We will offer a painting service and dark chrome on the emblem as well.

Hmmm, I have been emailing w him and he called me once too...not sure why you guys are giving him crap...

fw_fw thats pretty strong words for someone who has less so little time here. No disrespect but...we don't like that sort of attitude here unless it is really warranted. Are you sure it is called for? He's got a legitimate opinion.

Life Dies, you are certainly entitled to your opinion but I just don't see anyone buying a stock unpainted grille for $600+. And I really don't see anyone buying one that doesn't exist (speaking of the A badge option). So you can buy the original Honda one when I'm done w it ok? I'd be happy to get what I've gotten invested in it.

Life Dies

I appreciate the offer but like my factory Acura grill.

Costco

Life Dies

Who pretends to have a TSX? Do you realize how lame that sounds? Think about it. If I wanted to play pretend, it definately wouldn't be a TSX. If I had to pick a car to pretend I had it would be a TL SH-AWD.

Costco

I guess you don't disagree that you should have stayed banned. Do you realize how lame it sounds to go in and pollute threads with unnecessary criticism? Think about it. If you wanted to annoy a large group of people, you should have chosen to become a politician, hopefully not in my state.

I'm done feeding the troll, sorry guys... carry on. The grill looks like it would be a nice improvement though

kowloonsniperhk

here is the thread that had him temporarily banned.

How much would the CF version cost around?

MrHeeltoe

iTrader: (1)

Well if you got banned based on unnecessary criticism I can see why.

Why dog on my remake grille if you aren't even interested?

Life Dies, maybe you have a TSX maybe you dont. Regardless, if you want to get the most out of your time here on Acurazine, you should start working on your communication skills. The way you talk and the way you go about expressing yourself is not only offensive, but sometimes seems completely uneducated. You just make destructive comments and fail to provide any evidence to back up whatever it is your trying to say.

You clearly enjoy conflict and confrontation judging by your pethora of previous posts, but everyone else here..not so much

Life Dies

You people are just kids, most of you without jobs and a real car payment. You must not understand the value of your labor. I don't work for free and I sure as hell don't work for the guy who is stealing my product and selling knock-offs. I simply don't support this. I am a capitalist, an entreprenuer, a failure, a success, and an American. I am not a theif.

Life Dies

You want to make a replica. Great. Don't sell it with the Acura logo, that's unfair.

MrHeeltoe

iTrader: (1)

Hmmm, Explain to me how capitalism works...

afaik, the most issues people have w the TSX is the grille. And not all TSX owners wanna go Honda. So I see a demand here...as an entrepreneur.

Life Dies

Just because you see a pretty sheep in an lonely field doesn't make it right MrHealToe.

ed_423

would love to see those new grills with the A as an option man, good call now i can think about either paint matching stock grill or investing in your replica

ttk5

People DO UNDERSTAND the value of their labour, that is why they consider a replica before a genuine part. Genuine parts can be hella expensive and it may not be worth for some people. Its 100% subjective and there is no right or wrong answer here.

Heel Toe's grille option will definitely sell and you cannot say that anyone (seller or byuyer) is wrong when it does. I think the grille is going to look great and I may consider one too

Shift_Acura

Why do u care? U dont own an Acura...U bought a Jeep Liberty instead because its a MUCH better car, correct?

kowloonsniperhk

See Marcus, all LifeDies does is just start arguments in these forums.

HeavyDuty

Oy, Christ on a bike! would someone permanently ban this dipsh!t?

Fiberglass tranny hookers, H's and A's who gives a fat baby fvck?

Marcus, make it if you want, but take it easy on the !!'s K?

ttk5

it would b better for all of us; we don't want him here, and from the looks of it he doesn't care much about being here either. If he did, I'm sure he would try a bit harder integrating himself here.

fw_fw

Marcus, what has time here & number of posts have to do with it? Yes, I am new here, that's because I am new to Acura ownership. No attitude here, just stating the facts and my opinion in my post, as he was already temporarily banned for threadcrapping. Apparently you were not aware at the time you posted your response , however as you can now plainly see as evidenced by Life Dies responses in this thread and in others he is a major league troll and threadcrapper. His kind was not appreciated in previous automobile forums I was a member of and should not be tolerated here either.

Good luck with the sale of your grill. Your endeavours are appreciated in supplying Acura owners with some needed accessories, as the suppliers at this time are limited.

Well, I gotta say I am a pretty big proponent for "poster's rights" in forums but I also strongly believe in conserving bandwidth. If his posts always spark this sort of backlash I have an issue with that.

Anyway, I guess I have gotten to a point where it is easier to ignore this sort of thing.

Life Dies

I will respect what you guys are saying and never post in the second generation section again.

HeavyDuty

Marcus, I agree with you and I understand you're a vendor and it wouldn't be prudent to get wrapped up in online controversy.

Life, I get aggravated with myself for even participating in bashing you. But...we have given you the benefit of the doubt in many, many threads here and you appear to have a penchant for lobbing flaming bags of poop in our midst on almost every thread you contribute to.

I'm even willing to overlook the fact that you don't even own a 2G even though you posted that you painted the trim on said non-existant car.

I'm pretty sure that I've never posted to a thread with anything I wouldn't say if we were all sitting around a bar together. Please consider doing the same, it's not too much to ask.

lol.
