Hey everyone, i was just on ebay for shits and giggles and i saw this auction for a full chrome front bumper grill thing...and its only strips held on with probably double sided tape that you stick to the existing grill.....some may have it and some may say "why the **** would you get that for such a nice car" (LOL) well i was curious if anyone that did have it had a pic of it on an anthracite metallic TL and anyone that didn't have it, if you came up or have seen someone come up with a better replacement for those black lower grill inserts that come stock from acura....Thanks for your time


P.S. is there better way to remove those grill inserts, i only looked at it for a second but it looked like a pain in the butt....

 

all that kit consists of is precut chrome door edge stripping. you can buy it at most auto stores and save some money. i bought a set for my WDP, the center piece only, and it did look kinda nice, def not shitty at all.

i ended up meshing my grille and didnt want it anymore.

if you have the a-spec lip you have to remove it to change the grille.

 

I am planning on getting the a-spec kit, if i want to mesh it i should probably do it now? where can i get the mesh grill?


Btw, how do you like the A-spec kit?

 

the 1 strip looks good, n it shoulda been there in the first place. @ least acura realizes that and its gonna be on the 07 model.



sry for the shitty pic

 

thats the ebay set?
or thats the door stuff from auto zone?

 

They're the same thing...

 

no i know i meant did you actually get it off of ebay or just go to autozone? i.e. which vendor...thats all

 

I just got the chrome door guard from pep boys and could not get it to fit over the center rib; its too fat!

does auto zone sell a different, wider kind?

the one i got fits fine over the thiner side ribs thou

 

 

You dont have to remove the mesh grille to install front ASpec right? But the grille is virtually inaccessible when the lip is on?

 

Did you use gutter guard for the mesh? THe one you have looks to have bigger holes.

 

So, anyone knows if there is a special sized chromed insert for middle rib? or do you just stretch out the regular thin ones to make them fit (wonder if this will hold). Thx

 

No "special" sized chrome insert. It will fit... just takes a little time and effort.

I know it's not the color you requested, but pictures 1-4 on this thread show what it looks like on an NBP.

Hope it helps with your decision.

 

i got the full kit from ebay, I think it makes the car look much nicer. ( at least in silver) the piece that goes over the center is thicker than the others

 

i have the single chrome strip
it actually looks nice.. close to the 07 w/o fogs

 

thx, I'll try again. I also like the chrome touch on the handles
