BarryR · 01-11-2009, 5:14 PM

Thanks

yea that grill is available the mesh one its on the E&G classics website for about 320$.. if you want i can give u the link..

Iceman52489 · 01-11-2009, 6:17 PM

Yea i think the first grill is absolutely horrendous on an Acura, reminds me of a Cadillac. though the Ton Jon ones are extremely sexy and sporty.

You don't think Rob Jon will release them?

Iceman52489 · 01-11-2009, 9:30 PM

Good news guys! RonJon responded to my e-mail for production of the grill for the TL 2009. They said production will start April!

jumbosizeme79 · 01-11-2009, 10:01 PM

diggin the 2nd one.

6MTUA5 · 01-11-2009, 10:52 PM

I'd like the RonJon one more without that extra silver bar in there.

Ron Jon mentioned in the e-mail that they would start production on the TL grill after they finish the Accord 09 body kit. So your in luck. They're working on it now!

AcuraSoulElement · 01-12-2009, 6:33 PM

The Ron Jon front grill is a bit of improvement, but the front kit is sexy as hell, might even get me to buy an 2009 after the S comes out of course

. Makes you wonder why Acura can't come up with kits like these

.

KeithL · 01-12-2009, 8:24 PM

I like the 2nd one as well, without the double bar across, maybe a single bar similar to the 3G grille. Woud live to see an updated 3G Grille on a 4G, would look sweet!!

PetesTL · 01-12-2009, 10:55 PM

I personally like the smaller MDX grill on the TL.....the photo of it that was here a while ago looked pretty good.

asdf0123 · 01-14-2009, 7:26 PM

second grill is clean on black...RJ's is dope

jayunsplanet · 01-14-2009, 7:42 PM

That mesh looks meh. RJ is decent, I wouldn't want it though..
For me, it's not he grille center... I don't like the grille surround (the brushed aluminum looking pieces) Too large..

We called E&G and they said about 2 months before this grill will be available for purchase.

aznbo187 · 01-16-2009, 6:03 PM

In my opinion, it looks like it belongs on an Escalade. I can't tell if that whole grill is photoshopped on the car or if it's an actual picture, but the grill itself looks way too flat and 2 dimensional. Although the OE grill is big, it doesn't look like it was "stamped" sheet metal.

hmm thats odd cause its available here i was on the website today and i can order that grill rite now if i want.. and thats an actual picture from the website.. maybe its not avaliable by you yet im not really to sure cuz its on the wsebsite ready to be ordered price and all..weird..hmm i dont know..lol ttyl hun be safe

*rondog* · 01-17-2009, 12:47 AM

IMO, that mesh grille belongs on a chevy silverado or something. looks like a strut grille for an SUV. Totally domesticates the TL.

We'll def be coming out with our grille once our Accord kit is done. Possibly the TL kit too, a front lip and pair of side skirt spatts.

**neuronbob** · 01-18-2009, 12:33 PM

I like both grilles. I knew RonJon wouldn't fail us on the 4G grille.

KeithL · 01-22-2009, 9:03 AM

I'm liking the second grill more and more and if I get the car I'm in for that grill, but pull out the RJ logo, no offense, it takes away from the balanced look.

KeithL · 01-22-2009, 8:39 PM

Any idea how much RJ will be charging for the 2nd grill?

+1 on that.

KeithL · 02-01-2009, 9:36 PM

I e-mailed RJ today and they are still planning April/May availability, but don't have a price yet. Also the RJ logo will be removable.

07HONDATL · 02-01-2009, 10:27 PM

im not to sure how much RJ is asking i do know that its in production as keith said for april/may release he also told me that he is probably goin to make the front lip kit as well as the side skirts for the new 09 TL..congrats keith and DR evil on your new 09 TL's there gorgeous cars..my sister is trading her WDP 05 TL in for the new 09 AWD TL..good luck be safe guys

WDPhead · 02-03-2009, 10:40 PM

hmm i see first grill is up forsale on ebay for $502! xD

Maybe so, but the OEM grille looks like you drove it through a huge chrome smiley face.

I'm liking the mesh one pretty well, at least on the light-colored car. Might be a little too "bright" on a darker color.

Mike_TX · 02-14-2009, 6:47 PM

Here's roughly how the E&G mesh grille could look on a darker TL (excuse the quick photoshop job):

I'm liking this MUCH better than the stock one!

plushter77 · 02-18-2009, 12:26 PM

Hey everybody,

I ordered the E&G mesh grill from eBay and had it installed this morning (Feb. 18th, 2009). I snapped a couple of quick pics with my iPhone just so you can see how it looks installed rather than on E&G's advertisement photo that has been circulating.

Let me know what you think.

timmahh · 02-18-2009, 12:34 PM

Honestly.. for me.. it reminds of an escalade grille:

Too bling blingy SUV/Truck looking.. If it was in a satin silver finish or brushed aluminum look it may be ok [like the factory look], but as is.. It's just a giant chrome mirror in your face.. Doesn't match the existing metallic on the car =/

rehab_pain · 02-18-2009, 12:51 PM

try to shoot some pics a little farther away so we can see it in the context of the whole car. it doesn't look bad, a little to blingy for my tastes, but you really need to see the whole car.
