^too bad that website doesnt have anything for the third gen....make sure your sources are correct before POSTING.

Honestly, there isnt much you can do short of DIY.
there is the Sharkmouth grill made by c-mods...you can find this on ebay.

but most of us make our own Sharks mouth grill by cutting up the factory grill.

Well, see, I painted my stock grille and I used plasidip, but there are a couple of smudges. Does anyone know if there is way I can get it out? Sand it and re do it? Or do I need to just order the whole new front grille and trim pieces? If I do that is there somewhere I can order it from without going through Acura? Somewhere cheaper?

I had mine body matched. And it is, without a doubt in my opinion, the only way to go. So much sexier then stock.

I had mine dinoced before and while it looked good that way (plasti would be the same) the look and shine you get from being body matched is much better.

The only thing I would do other then stock body matched would be the floating A grill.

I hate the black chrome!
