Matching Paint Grill
Can anyone on here who has painted their grill to match their body color post a photo? I'm tempted to get this done on my car but not sure if I'd like the look or not.
Are there any aftermarket grill options as well?
Thanks in advance

James- welcome to the forum.
Luchin has the same colour as yours.
I just installed the OEM Sports Grille from Japan on my CBP:

CT-E carbon fiber only, on Grigio Metallic:
It might look good with the plastic trim paintmatched as well. I also elected to paint my emblem.

Is there anyway you guys can share what kind of price quotes you guys are getting for this? (Assuming it was done at a body shop)
I'm debating on whether to do this or pick up the Modulo A one now. I'm leaning towards paint-match over aftermarket, but to be able to keep a stock grill for resale value might be beneficial too.
Thanks Guys.

I'm really liking this thread, with all those pictures of various grills. I'll add another one, similar to the one I posted above, but with the Aero bumper:

I'm with you on the grill kind of growing on me. But the change is not like, "wow the grill is nice" all of a sudden. It's more like some days, "you know it's not that bad" or some days it's "that thing is freakin' hideous!" I'm kind of in between at times.
...but I've been lookin' around my area for yelp reviews and such. I'm in no rush to get it done at the moment, but I think I'm leanin' towards doing it eventually.

Grill on my White TSX
Next week take delivery of my new TSX, White/tan, will tint windows same day, may add the smaller decklid spoiler.
Not hot on the grill (as so many mention), seen painted on black TSX's & looks great, same with gray. But on white I am thinking I may not like it. I see reference to CT/E carbon fiber grill, appears that is on the top portion only, that may look good on my white, and then chrome on the bottom portion only. What do you think?
Where do you purchase the carbon fiber grill from.
Thanks, excited to get the TSX
