^Yes, i was checking this online no so long ago but 200 is bit expensive. It would be easier to install this in the car, however.

^ looks disgusting... You still have to cut your factory bar off.. The one piece look where the bottom V goes makes it look HUGE and nasty...

He-s a vendor - https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/c-mod-acura-tl-04-06-07-08-mesh-grilles-820326/

I'm not a fan of the C-Mod grill either

I'd say go for the DIY...
I'd keep the A emblem, though.

C-mod style grilles IMO are pretty ugly...I don't know why but I feel like it takes away from the front end.

Some people say it makes it look "meaner" or whatever...but I'm not a fan lol. the one one that type-s isn't too bad though..I think it depends on the color of your car

that's the way to go bro! DIY ftw. Well i would suggest home depot lol, i did my own grill for my Accord 05 3 yrs ago by using a sheet of mesh sold in Home depot since they have various design, then from there i bought the paint spray can as well as the clear paint can to protect the paint from chips. Then just get a big pair of mesh cutter and walla! lol. I used zip lock to tie my mesh on to my bumper and i must say it came out really good. just a few pointers.
