Full Chrome Trim for Front Grill and Trunk Trim

Hello everyone, this is my first post. I am new to this forum and looking to purchase a new 2010 TL within the next 2-3 weeks.

Anyway, like many of us I had a real vice against the front end, but the more I look at it, I begin to appreciate how awesome it really is.

Here's the thing, I went to a dealer here in PA and they have a new grill. I went to 2 different other PA dealerships and they knew nothing about it.

It looks exactly like the OEM grill that comes from Acura, but it's FULL CHROME. I mean spit shine look into it and see your reflection chrome. It looks absolutely amazing!!

He had it decked out on a 2010 TL SH-AWD TECH with full spoiler kit.

The chrome really made the front and rear pop. Does anyone else have any info on this?

It looks like they dipped the front grill in chrome and made it really shiny.

Also, I think the chrome grill is great at keeping the OEM look of the grill, but making it so much more dramatic in appearance.

I put the new chrome trunk trim on yesterday. It's a 100% improvement IMO. $38 on ebay wasn't too bad either.

I'll post pics today if I can get it clean enough to do so - rainy here this week.

I just did the back - it does require taking the bumper off. It's all push clips /tension clips. I can take a pic of the reverse side of my old one if anyone wants to see it.

It was off ebay - parts286 I think is the seller, they had 22% off or something.

Shipping to the US was only $15, I got it shipped to my family in Pennsylvania and will be going down in 3 weeks anyways, so will bring it back up duty free.

I actually have WDP so I will put it on and take pics for sure.

$250US total with shipping it worked out for me. Too good a deal to pass up.

brand new - its from actually an acura dealer, I think Acura of Troy ?

it actually listed they had 10 sets

All their acura parts were 22% off or something last week, including the skirt kit etc.

Not sure about now.

Yes, can you tell me how to remove the bumper to replace the trunk trim? You can also call me 561.901.3133, leave me a message if I do not pick up.
