So I dropped my car off at the dealership today, to get the door chrome on the drivers door aligned and a rear speaker fixed. The sales team was having their weekly meeting and when they caught a glipse of my ronjon grille the entire staff came out to check it out. The sales manager wanted all the info, nothing like having 20 people gathered around sweating your car!

I already extended it from the 22nd of August to the 1st of September. It wouldn't be fair to those who rushed to get in to extend it again. Sorry.

On a side note, this addition of the "A" bar option will slightly push the shipment date back, as will custom painted orders. But for those who wanted the regular straight bar shown before, We will be shipping those out earlier.

Ron,

Quick Question.. you saw it will accommodate the OEM emblem? Which one? from the 4G? Does it include an emblem, or do we have to source one...

Thanks,

Thanks,
Blackura,

I talked to Ron this this afternoon and ordered my grill. He told me that it will have the space to mount the emblem that is currently on the factory grill. He said it there are 2 screws holding the emblem to the rest of the grill. Just unscrew and mount on the new grill. Probably won't get delivery until mid to end of September. But worth the wait!

SMART Ron...use the existing emblem...this is coming together nicely...

BTW, I also was at my dealer on Tuesday and told them about your grille. They were interested. Weir Canyon Acura is in Orange County and has a fairly affluent customer base. When you have your completed sales package ready, you outta give them a call.

Yeah, as far as the dealers, I will be waiting till everything is lined up and ready to ship before I go ahead and expose them to the dealerships.

We will have all the split bars, with and without the "A" logo set ready and painted silver, the frame s will be stocked, 10 painted frames in each color, the mesh will be precut, dark grey and silver and the RJ emblems will be ready to go. We will take the orders and package them same day or next and ship them out. Going to get this operation to run nice and smooth, totally custom and with so many options, they will give the installer the freedom to make it the way they want. Also the site will have all the different mesh and bar combinations already shown so there will be no guess work. Now it';s just a matter of getting the production and molds completed.

That's awesome news! I think your grille will make so many 4G owners happy!

Super work with the Harrow wheels btw, they look great IMHO!

Ron, you do realize you are you are sitting on a gold mine right? I would agressively market this to every single dealer in the US and you WILL make a lot of money!!
As for me, I guess I will wait till all the hysteria dies down and let more pics in different colors be posted of the grill and see how I like it.
I do love the new wheels though! Schweet. What is the ETA on the wheels for 2010?
Keep up the good work Ron!

not yet, we are working on the revised straight bar with seats for the RJ emblems and the new "A" bar. Here's a pic of the new mesh, it's dark grey in color (hard to tell with the white behind it), but it eliminates the need to color the mesh, the material is the right color.

Hey RJ,

Any plans to include the newer model years RL, RDX, TSX, MDX and up and coming ZDX that also have the buck tooth beak in your line-up? I waiting on the 2010 MDX for the wife but I'm still not feeling the new grill.

Please say yes..

I agree with you on this one, there is something I just love about the stock grille for some odd reason. Its unique!

WOW! This work looks amazing. I can't wait to see more of these grilles on other TL's in different colors, but also having the A emblem with the grille makes it look like the 1st Gen TSX's grille but double the size. If more of these go as options on the TL on dealerships now, I would have a different look and aspect of the 4th GEN TL itself... As of now, I still think the OEM 4G TL grilles make it look fugly...
