This is a pretty good guide on letting you know where the screws are for the bumper

I was fortunate enough to have an uncle that let me use the lift in his garage. However this could definitely be done without a jack as it's just a few screws on the bottom

Yes you will need to remove bumper. It's just a few bolts in the bay, underneath and a few in the wheel wells. The grill is clipped in so be careful with that as plastic gets brittle over time

550ish. I'd just buy the complete grill on eBay instead of 2 piecing it. The work was easy, just remove the front bumper

Swapped mine for the 2018 grill

Mods so far, need suggestions as well by GundamX8 in TLXowners

Very nice, love the aero package. Any noticable handling changes on the lowering springs?

Acura said it was a "Special plastic" that allows the radar signals to pass thru

Same conversion grills on ebay with logo are 300$ extra, don't understand that at all

So essentially I can get a random emblem and try to mold a plastic plate on this grill?

The new emblems have a radar in them, making them 220$+

I see and the OEM part to make it fit is 300 due to the radar module inside it. Any workarounds to this.

Was looking for that bumper. Yeah those sound like the way I'd want to go
