TL front grille
Hi my TL peeps,
I decided before that my 09 TL is no longer my commuter for my new job, I was thinking to sell it.
Due to some more recent changes, I decide to keep my car again.
As I was looking at my car and looking at other threads on acurazine, I want the RonJon Grille badly, due to they are being discontinued and extremely rare for used one, I decided to look for other option.
This is what I can find for a different grille.

I'm not sure what I think about it. Its not bad cuz its not a shield, but it's really nothing special.
What do you guys think? Yes or No?
if not, any other option?

Not a big fan of it however it's your car bud, if you like it, get it.

Honestly that grill does not do it for me, sounds like you are on the fence yourself. Before moving foreword check the photograph gallery, lots of interesting ideas.
If all else fails just paint it, mellows out the beak.

Not a fan of any of those grilles. I love the RJ but it seems to come with a lot of fitment issues and at that price point it should be as close to a perfect fit as possible.
I recommend you just get it painted. **mod edit**

I agree. Paint the factory grill. It'll help clean up the car. Would probably do the back trunk piece as well if you're deleting the silver.

I would stay far away from that grille. First off it is fiberglass. it comes warped and wobly. it doesn't fit right at all and then you have to drill all the mounting points.. Save your money. I made one with with a combination style grille that I did but it needed tons of work! It is super thin and I needed to fiberglass the back for support!

Paint the beak if you can't get the RJ one.

sorry everyone
First off, I am new to this site. I registered today.
Not a fan of messing around too much from original exterior designs on any car, so paint the factory grill if you can.
Second, and any help here is appreciated...while I can respond to a post on Acurazine (like I am doing here), I have no idea how to create my own post. I have a specific question and would like to post it out to the knowledgable readers of this site. Is there a button, or a place I need to navigate to on this site to create a post? Thanks so much in advance.

My shop said the same thing. They were concerned that the paint will not stick. I told them to shut up and just do it and it come out fine. It's been little bit over 3 months and so far so good.

yep - same experiences with higher end body shops I spoke to. They would not do it due to the material/finish. They were concerned about paint not sticking/flaking off.

You do have to properly prep it to get the paint to stick as its a plastic piece
