That's jeroplex's car. PM him for details. IIRC, it's a replica pre-facelift Accord Euro grille, and he cut the H out and molded an RL-sized A emblem in place. Not sure if the bars are painted/wrapped/dipped/etc.

I dont know if is that difficult to change the H to A. If you dremel (cut) the A from the inside circle, then fix the inner circle and put the Acura Emblem inside. This maybe a good way, if the Acura Emblem fits well in the circle. I have a white piece of Metal behind the H, might help if the A has not the perfect size to fit. Maybe this is a easier way to convert, but not sure, just a idea!

Probably not. You can either cut and put the A in like jeroplex did, or get a slightly smaller A emblem and stick it onto some sort of backing plate that has the same shape as the part of the grille where the H should be.
#22
is the H emblem smaller than the acura logo? Would the A from the rsx be smaller? It'll be easier to do that, I can make a backing plate or find one and do that than cut and mold
#23
This I don't know; haven't done the conversion myself. I think evo9 user has done this with his grille; the backing plate method. You can try PMing him for details.

I'll be working on this over the weekend. I'll update as I make progress. My thought is to use the flat center piece that comes with the new grille as a backing and drill two small holes and attach a rear emblem using adhesive... Any thoughts on that? I got a trunk emblem off an RL and as far as I know it's the same size as the front emblem on the tsx...

The oem honda grille needs to be remolded or a plate needs to be installed to cover the H area as that area is not flat, but deep.
If you look at the replica grille, the area where the h belongs is flat, so you can add a A logo there easily.
If you look on istagram for member gorgeousgriiiis, I believe that's what she did.

I think what everyone is saying is that the "H" emblem and mounting plate are a different shape than the "A" emblem.
If you just stick the "A" in place in the "H" spot, you'll see the molding lines of the "H" behind the "A" badge. You'll need to do something to cover that up.
Or not, I suppose. You'll see when you have parts in hand. Post up what you end up doing because I'm sure there are plenty of folks interested in the results and steps taken.
Good luck!

Well, hopefully it'll go easier then!
I still wonder how the "trapezoid" backing with a "squircle" badge will look though...

some pics for you
I sold her boyfriend the headlights and he wanted to buy my grille too but it was to pricey, so he went with rep from ebay

So this turned into a process... The grille I received ended up having the H in the middle (unlike the image the seller provided). I ended up buying bondo and filling the space between the H. After a few layers and endless sanding, I ended up with a flat surface. Of course, while sanding the bondo wildly, I scuffed up the black and silver parts of the grille. I ended up taking the whole thing apart and priming all the pieces. I painted the base satin black, the trim metallic silver, and the center slats matte black. I used some 3m to attach the A the center. Came out great!
