OG price was......$299? + 150 paint option(which is proly the only thing that showed up as advertised cuz it is a perfect paint match)...shipping was 100 or so + $50 or so in customs +30 for install....yeah kill me now. Hurts to be one of the 1st lol. The fact that this grille costs MORE now....baffles the mind
oh and 11 months wait time
No Big Deal

Sad to hear the grille isnt worth the money. Why cant you mod the Euro Modulo grille with the Acura Emblem ? I will look if I can make it work, when I see one next time!

lol i feel you mr. nc. i need to check how my tabs are holding up. but my mesh is holding up fine, i did like 5 coats of plasti dip lol.
gap does kill though, even after i "fixed" it with a stripe. but its harder to notice on a darker color car like ours. does look great though if you disregard the gap

I could go with a euro grille and mod it, same price and all but the risk of breaking it...lol....no bueno
I don't mind the gap no more tbh I dont naturally notice it anymore when I look at the front of the car. In my mind I'm just like shit....that CF is gunna scrape when I'm on air.....

Since I was linked to this from unknown sources I shall pay it forward
Seller: Hammer_1976
$250 obo
Yes it is OEM Acura straight from the land of the Rising Sun. The skirts came in perfect condition. Nice to buy something where its as advertised and not as something else *cough* Failtoe grille *cough*
Seller seems to be a wholesale parts dude so it's not all Acura stuff.

I'm debating on getting the side skirts. I have the aero rear bumper, but I really hate the two front lips that come on the 11-12. They just look so out of place to me...

What ed said...at least it covers up that cut that's there between the front wheel arch & the side of the car...what a visual distraction *shudder*
OPboarding...wanna trade rear bumpers? Lol totally agree with you the front slats on the aero 11'-12' are a sad excuse from Honda...its so 2009 toyota coralla S.
Speakin of toyota...the camry in full se trim....quite "sporty" if I may say so my self.

the rear 3/4 is like a sad copy

Thanks for the love guys.
Me + lotsa beer + 10oz Black Angus striploin steak = Happy Camper
Yes the paint pen matches perfectly. I covered a skid mark I got on my sideview mirror and it matched up just fine

Another small addition to the car. I proly have the slowest build on the boards lol.
Don't mind the Camaro....smoked it in the 1/4 mile
I do like the rims tho...I think the angular 5 spoke would look great on the TSX
I thought I would need an Aero rear A$AP after getting front and sides done but....it's not so off balanced. I like the Aero sides tho...very clean and matches up with the JDP Lip muy bueno
FAVOURITE PART THOUGH
(scroll down)
WHAT THE BLOODY FUCK!!!!!!!!
Had to be a rock or the driveby I was involved in earlier in the week. Went through the clear but the CF is intact. God bless good quality carbon fiber. My shop guy said that they can sand it down and re-clear but we'll see. I've had the lip for about a year now so I can't be too mad this is the 1st damage it's taken considering I've driven through 2 winters with it on. I don't like it at all don't get me wrong but I guess it adds character
