Acura logo way too big for me. If the entire shield is smaller than MMC's, logo must be proportional.

I'm confused as to what you are trying to do. You bought the MMC grille to put onto your pre-mmc TLX?

To each their own. I prefer the beak over the refresh.

First time I seen a pic of the older and newer model next to each other. The A-Spec seems huge compared to the pre-MMC.

Why not wrap the beak? Wrapping the grill - Page 3 - Acura TLX Forum

I'm guessing he's going to cut the beak out and cut the mesh for the new grille to fit into the opening of the old grill..

That's what I thought. I mean I really hope it works out because I think it looks good and think that it's what Acura should have done all along sans the GIANT A.

The old grill looks better in the comparison photo

I am turned off by the new design

The big A looks like Alvin and the chipmunks are going to drive the new design

On the contrary, I think the new grill looks awesome! I think it looks even better in person than in pictures. It has a nice aggressive tone to it.

It's OK to be the pioneer, someone has to be first. Can't wait to see how/if this works.
