Slowly but surely all chrome will be black....
Decided to cut the front grille up, paint it all black.

Looks great! I was planning on doing the same thing except leave the Acura emblem on the grille chrome.

Nonetheless came out nice

 

Looks ricey now. Put a Mugen badge on it now.

 

pretty good job cutting it. did you put anything behind it or is it just open?

 

It would look better without the tinted headlights.

 

i liked it when it was a stock grill too much black going on in the front

 

Could go either way on this one. I love the black on white look when it's followed up all the way around the vehicle. ie; black wheels, door handles (or other trim) and trunk. See Jeep:

 

Open behind it...painted everything inside flat black (ac condenser,lines some other things)

Headlights aren't tinted, just the corner marker lights. I think the black grilles helped bring out the fact the TL has black housings

Funny you post a jeep, had a GC before this and blacked out all the chrome. I don't think certain modern cars look good with chrome..

 

I really like the way this looks. A guy took the top of 2012 grill and combined it with the bottom of the 2009 grill. This is what it should have looked like all along. If someone wants to start mass producing I need one in white.

I like it-lookin' good.

 

Is that Brian'sTL?

He does a great job on grills.

 

^^^Yes it is. KarKraze now has that grille and it looks just as good on his WDP.

 

i thought KK had done an MDX retrofit?

 

You're right, but he did away with it when Brian sold his one-of-a-kind grille.

 

oh no way! I must have missed that, it looks way nicer than the MDX one did

thanks bronco

 

Thanks Fellas!

 

Nexson has made only one such grille ?

 

I made one from the oem parts of a 09 and 12 and then I made one from a c-mod grille and 12 parts.
