What kind of grille do you have for your 4G TL?

If you modified your grille, do you like what you did? Will you ever go back to original grille?

Midnight chrome grill and rear trim...absolutely love it. That's how it should come standard from the factory on all TLs. It adds a class and sportiness. My car is CBP.

After using an aftermarket grill for a few months. I pulled the front bumper last week and reinstalled the original "beak" and think that it looks better than any of the other options.

I really enjoy the 4th gen TL and think that it's a beautiful car. The aftermarket grill looked nice but the car lost it's personality when the grill was changed.

I bought the sport grill and mounted my painted beak on it. For my color, red pearl, it made the car a lot more classy lookin.

Got pics?

I still have the original grille. If I change it, it will only be for the sports grille.

Agreed, that's why I am getting mine next week, I just hate the OEM grill.

Midnight chrome grill & rear trim on CBP. I think it really enhances the look of the car, better than the stock silver grill. Very glad I did it.

So true Murky.
Had the original, midnight chrome and painted grill all on my car. And the painted grill on CBP is by far the best looking .

I look at your car and my car, and see nothing but beauty and a artistic work of ART!! These folks who do not like the 4G TL, probably still watch Black and White Analog TV were we watch 1080P HD, 3D TV and BluRay Movies!!

I created that name when I first joined Acurazine.. My wife is the one with the 2009 TSX... I was driving a Honda Pilot for a year after she got her car. I loved her car so much I decided to Up Her One and go get the 2010 SH-AWD-Tech TL.. I drive her car on the weekend once every few weeks. The TL just has so MUCH MORE then her TSX!!! But I must say that 4 Banger in that TSX has a lot of get up and go, not to mention is is 1000 lbs lighter at 205 HP...

This looks very expensive. Just beautiful. Love the way you guys put your own stamp on these rides. 4G TL is a beautiful car.

The whole grill painted definitely looks better on the darker cars imo whereas the painted beak only looks good on the lighter colored cars like silver and white.

I like the beak painted but the sides of it unpainted. Keeps it semi-OEM and looking.

I bought the sport grill and installed my painted beak on its surround. Hard choice but I do like the whole thing painted as well. Just depends on what type of look you want.

I really love the black-out grilles. By far this is the best looking TL i've ever seen. I mean honestly with every car Honda Co. has ever produced there has always been atleast one thing I didn't like about it. But it never stopped me from purchasing one. Because I know that an Acura TL is by far the best car on the road. Today. I will be getting one very soon and in 6-spd and blacking out the grille.
