sedan grille

What grille do you think would look the best on a silver ex-l 4 cylinder sedan?

E&G Classics: 1. http://egclassics.com/inventory/item.php?itemid=647
2. http://egclassics.com/inventory/item.php?itemid=652

Grillcraft: 3. http://www.grillcraft.com/applicatio....aspx/1|7/697/

TRYP: 4. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2008-...Q5fAccessories

Autozone Chrome Strips: 5. http://img13.imagehosting.gr/out.php..._grille001.jpg

Please rank them 1-5 from your favorite to least favorite.

Any other grille suggestions?

6. OEM. Im sorry but thats my honest opinion. At the moment, OEM grille cant be beaten. Sometimes change is not good. If your into chrome, 5 looks ok, but others are too tacky.

+1. I can't say I care for any of them, but if pressed to choose, I'd say that 1 and 2 look to be of a more solid construction, if that helps.

I agree. I am going for the chrome look myself but none of those are really doing it for me. If you absolutely want to get one right away, I would go with number 5. However, I would wait a little longer to see what else you can find.

Like everyone else said, I want the grille stock. The only grille I would consider is your #5 choice. The other grille I want that's not in your list is the Mugen grille. But I'd only get that if you have wheels, drop and a mild kit.

I would get number 3 and paint the mesh black and re-install the "H". I don't like a bunch of chrome and I like mods that look "factory OEM". Currently I am rolling with the Autozone chrome strip down the center only. I think it looks the best, isn't too much extra chrome, accents the factory grille nicely and mimics the older Acuras(definitely not the new Acuras).

Here's something I'm planning on doing...

I just purchased the honeycomb insert from the coupe...Part 1:



I will be removing the flat slit inserts from my sedan grille and attempt to install the honeycomb insert in its place sometime this weekend...I really hope it fits...

Looks like a totally different size and shape of the 2 grills. I don't think it will fit.
Let us know how it turns out.

Good Luck!
