Default Rid of the USDM beak on my 09' Acura?

Generally, i'm not a huge fan of rebadging; ie: Acura to Honda, Infiniti to Nissan, & vis-versa. However, I find the grille of the JDM Accord so much better looking than that of my 09' USDM TSX.

I'm debating whether to go JDM Accord grille, vs. Mugen front (to compliment the semi-Mugen-ized S2000).

After looking at both of the following, what are your thoughs?

USDM 09' TSX -

And what's with posting links to pictures anyway. Can't people just post the pictures themselves?

Anything Mugen will be an improvement to the ugliness that is '09 MY Acuras.

The TSX is not entirely bad. It is the TL that is horrendous. Many Acura Dealers have been painting the grilles of both from what I understand.
