Another grille discussion
 
:rolleyes: CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF THIS GRILLE WILL FIT ON MY 2011 TSX. HERE IS THE LINK...Mugen Aero TSX 09+ Sports Grill 75100-XLL-K0S0 - King Motorsports Unlimited, Inc. AND IF NOT, WHERE IS A GOOD WEBSITE TO GET ONE FROM WITHOUT HAVING TO GET A 09 BUMPER

xtcnrice 02-26-2015 04:13 PM

You need 09-10 bumper or Aero/Sports/Modulo bumper.

If you're running 11+ bumper, won't fit.

iCrap 02-26-2015 04:31 PM

No it will not fit on your 2011 tsx.like xtcnrice said you will need the 9-10 bumper. And why is your post in all caps?

usual suspect 02-26-2015 04:40 PM

sorry at work and i use all caps. where can i find a carbon fiber or painted one that uses the same clips as the 11 bumper. i installed the front lip over the weekend and i want to do more. and does anyone know how much and how hard it is to get the stock navi installed. ( the problems of not buying se) fml

xtcnrice 02-26-2015 11:52 PM

The only grille I know of that fits the 11+ bumper that isn't the standard Acura beak is the facelifted Honda Accord Euro Type S grille. No it is not carbon fiber.

is there a way to swap the H for an A. and for 350$ it seems like its better to just vinyl wrap the stock one or plasti dip it. i dont know if i like it THAT much. what about the navi? anyone familiar with getting this equipped. price and possible for DYI

xtcnrice 02-27-2015 01:47 PM

Screw the stock navi. Get an aftermarket double din unit. There are a lot of useful threads in the 2G TSX forum related to this topic. IMO, that would be the way to go for me.

As for H -> A, a few guys have done it here too. Forgot who specifically... just do a quick search for that as well. At least 3 guys have done it now. I recall CU2_Dan being one of them, if not the first. jeroplex maybe?

Stock Navi sucks more than xtcnrice's teasing skills

I have Tech package on mine. Worthless. Only thing I love about it is, my power tailgate.

Stock Navi looks like my Atari game when I was a kid.

I have seen someone on here cut the plastic "A" part out and put the "H" one in for the honda emblem to fit. A lot of work. Theres just no love for the 11-14 guys.

THanks for the link. Per the link, the swap with badge cost $600?

robpp 03-06-2015 02:16 PM

a used jdm grille gonna cost you near 400.

the rl piece that holds the A cost like 35.
the A itself cost money.
then that plastic stuff cu2 dan used is like another 40. paint sandpaper.

it might not be 600 but t ^^^^^^ thats 500/

and you better hope you do a good job.

thats why i went the badge route.

I don't trust myself to do a good job. Thus I am stuck with ugly grille.

I have no problem with front and rear H. However, I am not changing steering wheel and getting rid of all other Acura on the inside, that would drive me INSANE

Its like when I go to SE Asia. They take the TOyota Harrier and the Land Cruiser, and they put RX330 Lexus badge and LX570 lexus badge on teh outside. But the steering wheel and interior stuff doesnt match the exterior.

Same reason for me. I wanna do the grille conversion but I know I'm gonna fuck up the grille doing the H to A mod. If I don't, I'm gonna be OCD about all the Acura/A/TSX logos seen on the inside of the car (oh.. and the A center caps for my stockies too lol)

Oh well.. the A grille has grown on me. It doesn't look too bad on a white car. The chrome blends in a lot more.

All this grill talk is making me hungry.

Hi, new to the site and new owner of a 2011 tsx wagon. Found a JDM grille on ebay. Will all JDM grilles need a earlier bumper to fit?

robpp 03-18-2015 09:53 AM

there are REAL JDM grilles for 9-10 and then 11+.

last I looked only 9-10 were being made aftermarket or 'style'

eventually the 11+ will come out aftyermarket.


if its real, then it will have honda and part numbers stamped inside ALL the pieces.
