Try a local sign or graffics shop first, most are gonna have it in stock, they will probably be cheaper and maybe give you a few pointers. I have enough sitting on the shelf right now to cover every TSX grill in Georgia. Cover all kinds of things with it including the outside part of my grill.

I don't hate it but it reminds me of my Ford Ranger XL grille. The XL being the low end had an unpainted black plastic grille while the XLT and Sport had chrome or body colored.

i like the cf look more than the black cuz i think its to much black on the front since the grill is a big part on the front. i always felt acura left doing the grill the last day since its not really the best desing i feel and it was just thrown on. but deff do the black wih cf

Yes the cf vinyl came like two weeks ( i removed the front lip) and massive problems from the get go...
Couple of things first off I got too excited and just jumped on it way to quick rushed the prep and instead of analyzing I just went in and started hacking the vinyl pieces ooops
Didn't buy enough vinyl since I thought it was enough should have listened to ssjoe and made sure I had enough vinyl...
For the first run it was messed up but the color combo was amazing didn't wanna take pictures since it came out too shitty ordered a bigger size vinyl going to post pics when done...
By the way carbon fiber gear shop online someone posted here before all the vinyls are 20% off Till December 31st... I can't wait to post pics thank you for the advice guys I'm planning to do the window trimmings and buy the jdp lip and vinyl the liP with the graphite too (just the lip part will paint match the side)

I Quit
So yeah, 1st gen'er here. When the 09's first came out I couldn't handle the grill, I thought it was just too over the top. Here we are wrapping up 2011 and I have to say I'm actually liking the new grill you all have. Given the shape of the car and lines on the front end the grill is really not a bad compliment.
I will agree with the other owners here that on dark colored cars the grill may be a bit brash and clad too much. However on lighter cars I think it's a nice highlight to the front end. CF would look good, but I have never been a fan of vinyl CF personally. Even when laid professionally it just doesn't look like the real deal and you all have a nice some what luxury car (no flaming, the first gen is a semi-luxury car as well) so if you want to go CF, get the real deal and mold it on there, otherwise your just making it look cheap. In the face of fake CF or OEM, go OEM.
