Kumar, you need to know where it came off of.

its pointless to show a picture of something that may or may not fit.

what car did it come from?

Its off an ebay listing so I do not know where it came off. The listing says it fits 09-12 just want to be sure. And the reason I want to is because I like it. I am going to have it painted to match my car. I think it gives an aggressive look. Its not for everyone but it is for me.

They should fit, but only the 2009-2011 models, the 2012-14 have different front ends. I would contact Nexson on here before you buy anything. He might have one in stock and is the right guy to paint your grill.

To each his own and it's your car so you can do as you please, but you are taking a step backwards. Why do you think Acura changed the "power plenum?"

That is a 09-11 grill.
My understanding is that it will not fit a 12+ unless you change the entire front bumper.

Seems easy enough to tell just by looking at the front ends.

i cant even fathom why you said it will fit when you clearly know its for a 09-11 and he clearly mentioned that he has a 2012..

they are two different bumpers

Don't get butt hurt because you didn't know the difference between circumference and diameter. Which you still don't understand diameter.

Yes, and you also clearly stated it would fit...when OP asked about a 2012.

The correct response would have been, "No, it won't fit a 2012. It will only fit a 2009-2011."

Once again Brock, you state something incorrectly and refuse to admit it. You either really have a tough time admitting when you're wrong, or in your mind you're never wrong. My guess is the latter.

if you dont go accurate info, dont give it at all.. makes you sound like you dont know shit.

also i already proven you wrong on the whole tire size info.. after you even stated the obvious..

way to contradict yourself.. give me facts not OPINIONS.


thank you UCF.. some people have a thick head and cant admit when they are wrong.. even with facts proven infront of him.. even in that rim clearance post, he goes completely off topic and talks about unspring weight and awd damage.. and completely avoids what i proven to him...this dude has no clue what he is talking about..

It says right in there it will fit a 2009-11 but not his 2012. It might not be phrased in the best way, but I never said it would fit his car, continue reading past the first line.

you quoting my quotes proves nothing. Some people measure by diameter and others by circumference, sorry I have to spell out every single part for you, I thought you would be able to understand that some people measure by diameter while others measure by circumference. You're just being a dick, it's ok though.

This will only fit the 09-11 Model TL.
The 2012+ TL utilizes a different bumper.
To use the 09-11 grille, you would need to change the entire bumper.
I personally love the 2012+ grille. Be happy you have the sleeker grille!
