I haven't, but I think I prefer the OEM setup.

It will look like you put gutter guards on your cars grille. Doesn't fit the TL IMO, at least in raw metal. Maybe a different style, painted black would look better.

OEM, or just remove the inner OEM part.

Selim, what's up??

are you talking about the mesh grill insert stuff or the strips on the bottom?

If you are talking about the strips on the bottom....
yea, I got that stuff, actually I got some door trim from an auto parts store and threw it on there. You saw the front of my car right? It's not really chrome looking...I'm not a big fan of the whole chrome look either so this worked out good. Keep checking around on ebay and you will be able to find someone selling the setup like I have but it'll be cheaper just to get something from auto zone or something

It says it's chrome but it's not really chrome looking, trust me, I have it, it's freakin plastic

I have it, didn't read the description and it didn't have that picture so I thought it was a full mesh grill. anywho, I painted it black and it looks pretty good up close but is not really noticeable from far.

I cut this one out myself from a leaf gutter guard(picked up at HomeDepot for $1). This is before I saw any of these pics.

I don't think its that bad. Anyways, Selim make sure to go with what you want, don't judge everything by someone else's opinion. I don't think people are really liking the "cheap look", but I bet if someone got it and painted it in a different color or if Acura made it a product of theres, people would be jumping on it. People (Acurazine) tend to sway away from ebay stuff for our TLs.
