There is something to be said for a tasteful use of chrome...something the Acura designers also forgot in the latest refresh of a lot of models.

A Honda accessory. Sport grille MSRP's for $399 though.

Much better than the original, looks good. It blends in much better with a lighter color car, but with a darker color car i still think it would be too much.

Looks good.

I thought about getting one, but I'm selling my car next year.

Plus, it's still pretty pricey for something with so much chrome...

Noticed you have posted about a few little mods, so changed the title to make this thread your own! If you want it back, let me know, but figured you can just use this to post any updates, mods, etc...

Did he sell you the grill for cheap before dumping his Accord?

There's an outdoor version of Alcantara, it's for boats and yachts. But I wouldn't recommend it LOL

nope

Anything more than $50 would be too much.

No Honda mods to follow..... only Scatpack mods in the future

and i literally showered and left my house to pick the Charger up. If I knew 20 minutes sooner, I would've pulled the grille off.
