My new grill

Thought I'd share. Dreading the impending chips. Thanks for looking!

That looks really good! Are the outer trim pieces color matched? I really like it!

Thanks for all the comments!

I had it professionally done at a body shop. The outer trim is color-matched, the inside is flat black.

Thanks again everyone. As for the cleared lights, I've been meaning to get around to this for awhile but am still debating cleared vs. blacked out, and if waiting to get a cleared diffuser is worth it or not. Any ideas?

you grille looks good man. I just might do this to mine. I'm thinking of just painting the center though like you have it and leaving the outer trim chrome on mine (08 tl-s). But yours looks good

Check out JNC's thread on Cleared Headlights.
He does all different kinds of mods for our lights.
There are some pics in the thread that will show
you the various kinds. It all depends on what you
want. I havent cleard mine yet cuz I got a diff
mod in mind first.

Hope this helps

Looks good... good choice on the black cross bar it will fade into the background from a distance so it will create the illusion that you have the floating A.

agreed, looks pretty good on the AM and other similar colors but that's too much black for the NBP. i do like the chrome grill option for NBP.

kudos for being original!

Thanks everyone!

Ballerjai, for the DIY here are the steps I took:
1) get your acura hit while parked
2) bring your acura to a reputable body shop to fix damage
3) have them paint the grill while your acura is there anyway
4) enjoy your new grill

Good luck!

HAHAHA, man I had to re-read that like 4 times to see if you we're kidding about part 1.

I guess I'm too late, my car was hit, but it's all fixed now, darn!

That is genius. I have to take mine in to repaint the bumper because of some annoying scratches, but I'm taking it to the Acura dealership they offered to do it for free because it came with the scratches when I bought it used a few weeks ago. Hopefully I can maybe slip the dude something extra to do it for me.
