hum....Do anyone know that? ( '__' )
Is only ABS material, I always think the price shouldn't be that high...$545 and is not paint. Usually a simple grille design like this with a ABS material is only need around $300 or $350. But since everyone now is crazy on want to change the grille if the price is $1000 I think people still buy it right? haha(trash talk)

In all honesty, the grille is not a simple design, its a 2 piece sonic welded frame with custom hardware, detachable mesh and detachable horizontal bar (can be left in or taken out for a simple look), Even the OEM "A" Acura logo can be installed onto the mesh for those who want it there. I can't think of any other customizable ways to present the grille. If you like the "beak" then thats cool. If you think this is too much, hey, thats cool too, but that's what it costs to build it, and RonJon Sport Design doesn't cut corners or compromise engineering for a cheaper price, especially on an Acura vehicle like the TL. The grille has PERFECT fitment, no gaps or anything wrong with the way it bolts on. Completely bolt on or bolt off. Consider the OEM grille costs more than this without all these features.

having the grille already installed, I will second what ron is saying. This is very high quality, the fitment is perfect, and the customization options are endless.

Wow it's about time, and RJ made a smart move on this, this is what everyone wanted to see!! That chrome grill made me nauseous!

This grille makes the 4G look 1000000X better!! Sure the price is a bit steep but I agree with RJ, you want quality, that's the only way to get it on such a niche product. It think it is worth shelling out to totally transform the looks of this car. With everything the 4G has going for it, it's the grill that ruins everything. Now it has a chance to look like a car that I would actually drive....(Maybe 5% of me......sorry I love my 3G too much. )

Where is Blacura at? You KNOW you have to get this!

as always you get what you pay for... and shit you get alot for this price... think of it this way...if someone ever backs into ur oem grille, you have a more affordable replacement

Hey Ron, what's the ETA on the grill w/the new emblem seat option? Any word on what the extra cost might be?

I've check most of the shipping company, although the grille is not that heavy, around only 10 pounds, but because of the size is that big, the shipping fee will cost around $380+ CDN.

So Ron, do you have any reasonable price for shipping?

both grilles make the car look kind of cheap in my opinion. I think painted beak looks the best so far.

When I was at the dealer and they were telling me how Acura is surveying the dealers about the grill I showed my dealer the RJ grill, and they said "why doesn't Acura hire this guy to design the grill" my thoughts exactly!!

shipping from NY to Cali shouldn't be more than $50 or so, but to Canada, its the taxes, not shipping that kill you. The grille is entirely built in the USA, so the taxes shouldn't be as much as something built overseas in China or something.

so now there will be three ways to have the grille, besides all the color combos, these are the 3 options:


Just mesh:


Mesh with the straight bar, no "A" logo:


Or mesh with the "A" Logo installed on the alternate split bar:

After handling the OEM grille and handling the ABS pieces for the accord kit, I am going to say lighter. Not like it will make any difference really.

I LOVE IT!

I wasn't sure about the 4G before (love the interior, like the exterior), but after seeing this, I will definitely consider 4G as the next car (when it comes time to replace my 3G TL-S)
