Dude don't listen to those people, leave the fog lights alone. They make a beautiful contrast on the front.

i really like it
maybe if the ACURA emblem was small it would look fantastic

The emblem doesn't look out of place to me though. Yea it's bigger than the normal but it looks all good in da hood to me.

here's the same mdx grill on a 4G TL. he reused the upper part of his OEM grill and used epoxy and bondo

he's karkraze on the 4G TL section

right now i like it more on tsx than tl

I like the way it looks..its just the fitment defcon, that is getting to me. fitment on the 4thgen TL looks much better than it does on our CU2, or maybe it was just the way you did it. I like the look though, i really do. Just the fitment is awful. Even from afar you can see all the gaps and uneveness

defconskylude

blah the gaps dont bug me at all. actually if you look at the MDX pics they also have gaps in the grill.

im going to put another layer of rubber foam sealer for the hood gap and see how it looks.

here's the difference:

1) he put in about 100 man hours to do this
2) had the proper tools accessible to work with plastic/bondo
3) 4G TL has a thicker outerframe which he integrated to make up for the side gaps.
4) he had more time to work with the fabricating the upper plastic to eliminate the hood gap.


it was quick and dirty. i only put in less than 8 hours and all i did was use a dremel, zip ties, paint. i didnt not sand anything at all. i couldve used the thin outer frame of the TSX grill but i didnt want to cut it up because i still want to use my OEM grill later on. if im able to put in more time, then i can fabricate a plastic cover.

i dont know. we'll see. im satisified with the way it fits and looks right now.

I appreciate all the hard work that went into this grille, ingenuity, creativity and the craftsmanship in details. All said and done it looks like a huge silver bandage on a botched nose job.

I like it more on the tsx also. partly cuz of the contrast i think. the tl looks okay but it's just so much white/silver.

Mr. NC

Looks more proportional on the TL me thinks but aside from that mdx grille still naaaasty....

defconskylude

hellz yea

Mr. NC

I'm gunna look for this TL now lol...wonder what part of Toronto he/she is.

Driver has aspirations for something greater with a plate that starts BLFA....should be BATL or sumtin (geeeetttt it????!?!?!??!) (ANYBODY) (Yes I know plates generated at random but work with me)

The grill is cool but...I'd give my middle nut to have clear corners!!! I wish I was brave enough to try it.

So why does everyone paint the grey pieces of the MDX grill? Why not leave them grey and color match the wing bit, might be a good contrast...

Good work for a mere 8 hours, given yours looks passable with 8 hours, imagine what you could do with the 100 hours the TL'er put in.

ive thought about that color scheme but thought it didnt look good

if i didnt have a kid, then i can put in a lot more time in my DIY projects. very difficult to squeeze in time with a 1 year old.

i realized i havent done anything new with my car in a long time because of these

.22 calibers inside each one.

Damn defcon...you're crazy with the guns. Just wondering, what do you do with them? Do you go to a shooting range a lot? The Tar21 was my gun of choice in MW2...haahah

defconskylude

ive only been to the range 3 times. looking to go more often after i finish these up

theyre just fun little plinkers without hurting my wallet.

just firing range only and to build my own real modern warfare collection

im looking at getting this rare airsoft M200 intervention and putting a .22 inside. the real one cost $11,000 this should run me about $400

tobwac

Is your kid allowed to play with those guns
