Nexson any idea in wa time frame your gonna look into making another i have both grills at home

 

Well the grille is in it's second phase of testing as of now. I had a seam ghost up on me, so I grinded down the seam, but this time made the seam 1/2'' wide instead of 1/4''. This will allow the epoxy to flow in more and cover more surface area for a stronger bond. I also redid the complete back of the seam. I have it all epoxied back up. I used plastic filler this time instead of body filler. I am going to keep it out in the sun for a few days. See what happens. This is a important process and if I were to do this grille again, I would test it out in the sun as well. The reason why I put it in the sun, is because the sun allows the materials to expand. If not bonded well, they will expand too much and show.

 

can i ask for more pix please ? cant get enough of this....

 

what else can you do with your hands!? this is an amazing job!!!

 

Ok so whenever you have a chance pm me a price IF you were to make another grill assuming I have both of them

 

^ I would really have to think about it, i dont want the stress of doing another and using my car to do it. But you have everything?

The grille is back on and in the second phase of testing, lets see what happens

 

WOOOOOOOOWWWW good stuff bro!

 

I love what you have done to your grill. It's very creative and shows how the 4G TL grill should have come from the factory. What do you think of this guys modified 4G TL grill?

please come make something for the 2G tsx, our vendors all suck dick

 

Gawdddd... NO!

 

really nice work!

 

yes i have both grilles the 09 and 12 just pm

 

phase 3 on it way, if this one ghosts, im giving up, but im pretty confident on this one.

 

Unbelievable work sir, very nicely done!

 

OEM look...VERY VERY well done!!

 

This looks great. I like the stock look of it.

 

This revision i been working on this the slickets, best fitting, version yet, i have spends hours upon hours on it

 

 

Cant wait to see the final version. Awesome job man keep it up.

 

Hi! Nexson, Please to patent this before its too late, someone will take your hard work and put it into Mass production. It is a brilliant idea, very detail work, and it looks really really good, it has a stock look. Keep up the good work, because it will pay off.

Regards

 

waiting to see the results....

 

How can i do this?

It will be more noticable up close and on the backside of the grille where it meets the hood. It is now perfectly flat and even. I am excited.

 

^^^ I am too

Now THIS is how the acura grill shoulda looked like from the factory..

 

Grille is going back in the booth for the final revision. Sorry guys not doing another one of these.

 

Acura should hired you to design the 5 generation grill or have this grill for the 5 Gen foreal...

 

Here we go! Last revision equals money!

 

bloody awesome bro....the most unique 4G on the forum

I hate the 4G TL....but you and RJ make the 4G look so sexy....I would only buy the 4G if it has the RJ lip kit or if you will be kind enough to make me a front bumper....

 

I apperciate the kind words! I think the TL has great potential, it just needed to be tweaked a little bit.

The grille is great. I will patent it, then maybe go from there. Now sure if it should be produced as the generation is already done.

 

Looks great and appears OEM. This is probably what the 09-12 design should have been in the first instance. Carries over the '12 refinement, without losing all of the 09-11's aggressive look. Nicely done.

 

i am sure they could of gotten away with just replacing the grille for the '12 (with something like mine) and would have saved alot of money, but then you would have everyone just buying 09-11 and replacing the grille.

 

New home is coming soon.

 

lucky someone... if you can make another one, send me PM plz

 

One lucky SOB. Someone let Brian borrow his/her TL for some test fitting

 

Fantastic job on this, I really like the final product.

 

Dood you said you'd never sell it? Had you told me it up up for sale I'd of so bought it instead of having you paint the one for the wifeys car...

 

haha, the new owner inboxed me in Sept.

 

LoL so four months to talk you out of it?

 

it had been sitting in the attic ever since I did the front conversion. I realized I would never have the acura again and the fact that the TL generation was already aging made me realize that someone else would benefit from it. Oh and the four months, I worked on it on and off
