How can I do this to my grille?
I know that on this forum I'm in the minority, but I like the beak. However, I was thinking of just doing a light mod to it.
Can anyone give me an idea of how I would create a beveled line like pictured below? Could I create such a smooth line with a dremel tool? If so, what would I use as a mask to make sure the line was straight? I'd be willing to buy a grille off one of the many RJ grille purchasers.
If it looks good I may decide to have the top painted.
Just to get it out these comments out of the way I'll post them now:
"Dude just get rid of the beak"
"Isn't that the TSX grille?
"Dude just get the RJ grille"
"Not my cup of tea"
"Yuck that grille is fugly"
"Just when I thought the OEM grille couldn't get worse"
"I didn't think I could hate the 4g anymore until I saw this"...etc
Now that's out of the way can anyone give me thoughts on how to create the bevel? Thanks in advance.

Only idea I can come up with is a dremel or a file. Have you looked at professional shops in your area to do this? That's the only guarantee you'd have that it'll be done right.
