I normally hang out in the RL Forum I'm about to share already has been covered in some shape, form or fashion. Anyhow, on a trip to Kansas, just north of Nashville, I glimpsed into my rear view mirror to see a TL approaching with a non standard grill. Having my camera on my front seat I grabbed it to take some shots - Apparently the owner was less than enthusiastic about the snaggle tooth grill and opted to replace it. See my photos here:

You can buy this grille on eBay... I call it "caddy grille" which personally I don't like how looks on TL at all

Yea, we've seen this grill before. I've actually seen one in person at Jay Wolfe Acura in Kansas City.

Yeah! It really changes the whole aura of the TL. Sigh....if only Acura had adopted this one...........

Hmmm,actually two guys and three "custom grilles" .

aimtimes100

just gives the TL such a mean look.....excuse me while i go change my pants

4G TL is not sweet looking anyway but really unique style...

...if Acura would adopt RonJon's grille...

Why would someone want the Acura to look like a Caddy? I do like the look of the painted stock grille though. Can't beat the price, that is for sure.

LOL - lose 28 points because of that post? I was referring to the OP's link to the TL he saw on the highway and not the RonJon grille. The RJ grille is nice, the other one is less than desireable.

They should have made the grill like the RJ one but with the MDX mesh panels above and below it... In a gunmetal color, would have been fantastic and totally fit the look of the car...

oc48bound

I really, really like the RJ grill. Are the '12 and '13 4G grills are different from the '09-'11? I would also like to see it on a car without the body kit. I could probably get the wife on board with $1k but $2k+ for a buch of plastic would be a hard sell.

KarKraze

Yes,the 2012 grille is different from the 09/11,his grille is for the 09/11 model only. Go to the RonJon website,the is a photo gallery that has some more pics of the grille.

That is the best looking TL I have ever seen. Amazing. I would like to see the rear as well.

Plasti-dip it!

if the 4G TL would have come out of the factory with the RJ grille and lip kit, I would have been in queue to buy that car...

potmilkz

personally.. only thing that looks OK is the lip.. but even that.. the silver center piece is made only of fiberglass... the sideskirts bulge out too much as you can see and the rear lip is just MEH.. just my personal opinion..

but it would look great with RJ front lip, OEM sideskirts and OEM rear lip.
Grill looks OK. i like the 2012 better tho.

GoddSpeed

I agree with potmilkz about the side skirts but RonJon's grill should've been adopted by Acura. It really changes the whole look.

But the ladies like the bulge! Lol.

If you start selling these, put me down for one!

Matthew G

I second this. If you're looking to sell one, I'm more then willing to pick one up for my 13.

2SHLOW

So if you guys are interested in doing this custom grill, here’s the break down..you need to find a donor grill for either a (tsx/rdx/mdx/ilx) aspec..which would be around 450..then there’s a guy that I know that does it for 450..so it’s kinda pretty steep but again the results are amazing..his IG name is :https://instagram.com/wickedlightz?igshid=e68d6kq6b5m6

Love it, would love to see one off the shelf, I'm not "crafty" enough to pull this off DIY.

How would I go about getting a grille like this?

2SHLOW

if you have IG, follow this guy https://instagram.com/wickedlightz?igshid=jqd669br2r1

he makes the grill..the only thing you have to do is buy a grill from a 2019 tsx aspec and send it to him and he makes it for you 🤙🏼

mrphilipanderson

Y'all mean to tell me there isnt ONE person here that will do it for me? How much for the grille and headlights Or just seperately

LongLurkerTL12

It's 1,200 for the grille and 1,200 for the headlights. The names of the people that do them are listed above or in another thread. The parts will need to be obtained by you then sent to them which totals at 1,200 for headlights and then 1,200 for the grille.

leeniggy

Hey 2SHLOW that instagram acc https://instagram.com/wickedlightz?igshid=jqd669br2r1 is down do you have link for this guy that does the grilles
