Wow how did I miss the update?!?! Nicely done sir!
I think if you took the metal piece off of the hood, had it filled in and colormatched, it would look MUCH better!
Whatever you decide to do, props for doing something different

Thank you all for the comments. I know that more work needs to be done but again i did what i could with what i could use. I was thinking about making the piece part of the bumper but that takes a lot of time, which is something i don't have at this moment. here are so pictures.

It's different; I really like it.
Also, I thought you had Type-S diffusers in your headlights.
^This guy is a genius.

Looks good need to fill in the gap tho..Like the other guy said try fixing the piece on the hood to match the grill. Also you should paint, that silver part under the grill and between the bumper, black.

Great chop, guitar!
Although I think you should've eliminated the gap a tiny bit for a more seamless look. Or even the gap with the bumper [for a more uniform gap between the grille, bumper and hood].

Dare I say-it almost looks like a 4G 2012 grill.....

Props on the originality. Imo it looks better than both 09' and 12' grills, flows better with this gen car than the new 4th gen TLs. Overall I like the stock grill on our cars the best. This looks great, just not my cup of tea . I must say though this is one of the better grills I've seen

Looks pretty decent, I think the grill flows better that that type S Apec lip. Looks like you used some real paint hopefully, I see some equipment in the background. I would definitely consider protecting it with some film like nano fusion (if you can find it). I wish Avery could get there shit together and start making it again.

If it were me. I would mold the ends of the grille into that little outter trim piece going around the grille. Then I would extend the top of the grille to meet the hood. The grille has awesome potential but it just needs some modification to make it flow.

bump. did you ever fix that gap?
reason i ask is , i have a gap on my grille and i don't know what's a good fix for it. right now i just stuck some weather strip in the gap, but isnt the greatest look IMO. luckily my car is gray and the weather strip is gray/black so the gap isnt as noticeable.
gap before weather strip:
gap after
gap w/ strip in the sun light (you can see the strip since it's a lighter color)

Hmm
I liked it, not as much as factory on your car but you did a good job. If you still want to do a conversion. You should try the MDX, I don't know if it's possible but it would look soooo sick, and u got the skills[IMG][/IMG]
