TBH I think you are 1 of the first to do this in North America, common in Europe but not on this side of the pond.

Where'd you get the euro grille?

Yes it was from German Ebay, but I think its different seller. I bought the original Euro grill and modified by myself.

That's cool. If you have time, can you take a picture from the front? It would make photoshopping an emblem on easier to see exactly how it would look with the emblem on. But damn i'm jelly...

I know this grille from a german forum. I recognize it on the big gap on the upperside, at the hood. There is a gap, or am I wrong and its only a shadow or something on the Photo? It would look great without this gap. No chance to fix it better?

hmmm.. I don't know I havn't really thought about the gap was wrong..because it was oem part. so I thought maybe it's just normal... I did recognize the gap once I installed it though however, I think its no big deal.. I'll try to fix it though. Thanks for your opinion.
and Once again, Thank you very much for your help HondoGermany! I really appreciate your help to find all the parts!

Idk how I feel about the grille, it's definitely unique but i feel like it just blends into the car. Makes it look clean but then you don't have much contrast. Maybe if you panted the outside part black and left the two bars white it might make it stand out better. Your DIY mesh is pretty sick too, I like that look a lot! And of course you Lip looks UHHH MAZING! Clean Car bro. You should clear your headlights!

Thanks ssjoeboe9! I understand your opinion as well.. I guess it's just personal preferences. I just don't want to be stands out that's why trying to make it simple and clean.but seriously, thanks for your advise! I'll keep that in mind as well so I could try differently when I get tired of this style. once again, thanks for your compliment!

I really like this! it looks really good!


honestly if it was me though i might have left the outer trim chrome or something to flow better with the car.

And if you somehow make a floating A emblem in the middle of the two and mass produce them in a time window one day less than never then you would have a couple costumers + have a grille ready before heeltoe!

Great job, I want this! I love the way it "blends", it gives the car this clean look that no other way could accomplish.

Whats the meaning of OEM?
I think this one is custom build! Looks like the Eurogrille without the Emblem and the middlepart. Because there is no Emblem you got the gap, the upper part has no hold and goes down a little. If its so, you can pull the middlepart towrads the hood.
I like how you mounted the mesh beside the fogs, never seen that on Accord or TSX before. Cant understand that only a few cars installed a mesh, the Original Accord and TSX mesh looks terrible, its curved, no straight lines.
