It looks just like any other housing blackout job. I painted the housing satin black, left the four ridged stripes silver, and left the orange markers in place. Also threw in the TSX's clear projector lenses. I'll post a photo later tonight.

Sorry about the photo quality. Nighttime + IPhone makes for crappy pictures..but you get the idea. Don't mind the filthiness of the car. She'll get a good wash + Zaino'ing this weekend.

How is the fit of the grille. The first pic looks like it is a bit off in places. No offense. Might just be the angle.

Yeah, the fit isn't perfect. The body shop tried to get it as good as they could but can only do so much. I am kindof bummed a piece that cost $1250 (part+shipping+prep+paint) wasn't perfect, but hey, it's better than the beak.

What I did notice after install was the left side of my hood was a little too low, which was an easy fix. the gap is more even between the hood and the top edge of the grille now.

That grill looks so good. If I had an 09-11 that grill would be a must-have!
