Powder coat the mesh black and I might be sold to try it.

Wow Plushter...that isn't bad. Very shiny...please post some pics when you can use your regular camera. It will give a different perspective to those who didn't like the original nose.

When is this ^ grill available? If not already. Looked on their site and didn't find it.

If the Mesh grill is $502 on eBay, I can't imagine what the Ron Job grill would be.

I think the development to make a mold that is a 1 piece grill that bolts in is going to be very pricey, hence the cost of the mesh grill. I was hoping that the inner piece would be removed and easily replaced with something, but after taking mine off, any aftermarket grill will need to be one big piece that replaced the inner and outer.

Hey CleanCL, did you have to remove the front bumper to get the grill off? I got my painted grill back in Dec. but still haven't got around to installing it due to fear of breaking something.

I agree it's a little "chromey", but it beats the hell out of the stock grille IMO.

More than anything, it looks like a CTS-V grille to me, but since the rest of the car (especially the back-end) is also CTS-ey, it fits in.

When I e-mailed Ron Jon a few weeks ago they are still taregting April/May for availability.

I know variety is the spice of life, but seriously, what was wrong with the OEM grill? It doesn't look bad.

I still say the Ronjon grille is the best design we've seen thus far, but the mesh grille is not too bad...yes, a little Escalade-esque, but if they just painted the outer rim body color, the overall design would be improved (quick PS job below)...

No, I didn't pull the bumper. But if I did it again, I probably would. It was a painful process to do it on the car. It can be done with the right tools. Took me about 1.5-2hr to remove and reinstall.

$200?

doesnt look bad, it may look better in person.

Hope it doesn't start rusting a few years down the road -- then it would look hideous.

plushter77

I still have the stock grill stored away in my garage. If rust or something else were to happen to the chrome grill, I could always put the stock grill back on.

I appreciate all of the feedback. We all have our own opinions and I respect them all. This is just what I decided to do with my TL. I am interested to see what other people will do with theirs. I am always open to other options.

BackinBlackTL

how bout a whole front end conversion kit?? that would be the only way youre getting that car to look good


agree with ron and others that the mesh looks like it should be on a big GM truck or something along the lines of that...

happy TL'ing

I like the mesh grill except I would paint the chrome surrounding the same color as the car and the mesh black. The 4th gen has a lot of potential.

georgegiorgio

I can't took at the Chrome Mesh Grill on 4G TL, makes me think of Cadillac...

C'mon guys, don't you think it's hideous?

Just go get a Cadillac instead...

I rather have the painted like another Ziner did... Looks better...

The mesh grills still look huge, but if it could line up flush with the headlights and not protrude up into the hood, I think I would seriously consider getting a 4G TL 6MT if Acura's still gonna make it.

Wavehogger

I can't focus when I look at it.. But I can't stop looking at it.

Oh my Gawd!
Words can't explain what I think about this.

Gixxerkid

That first one does look too flashy imo. I like the RJ one tho!!

clh13

I think this looks too bling bling for me. I prefer the oem grill.

i like the mesh grill the best so far, a hell of a lot better than the OEM one.

but i also i think the mesh one would look a billion times better if you color matched the outter border of the grill to you car color

Iceman52489

Again, that thing belongs on a Cadillac. The RonJon replacement is the best grill ever. Muhaha.

slammie

Emailed RJ regarding their grill: As of this month, they have "started." They will have grills ready for purchase in 2 mos. They sent me a big image of the grill, but I can't figure out how to insert it here.... dammit!

Put the direct location of the image between the [img] [/img] tags.

If it's not hosted and they sent it as an attachment in an e-mail, you will need to host it somewhere Photobucket, imageshack, etc.

Bearcat94

Host it somewhere as mentioned (I prefer Photobucket). If you don't get the tagging right, I'll clean it up so it shows. Just make sure you inlude the full hosting url/link.

AsianRage

That's HUGE grille!

RonJon Grill wins...........

PaulNY

yeah...that'd help it for me, I think the black mesh with chrome trim would look nice on most colors...I still like the stock grille, so dont go by me :x
