JDM looks clean. Blake I will assume you got a white one and the simple JDM grill will look great on white. The Mugen design is barely better than the Acura design--but since it is Mugen people will claim to like it.
The JDM does look clean, but i'm struggling with having a big Honda badge on the front of the car, and "A" badges everywhere else.
Maybe I'll add the front lip and see what it does to the look of the front and go from there?
Thanks for the comments!

I like the Mugen better.
The new Acura beak is just...plain...ugly except on the TSX, on which it looks well-integrated. On the TL and RL, the new grille reminds me of the an old Mercury Marquis grille, which I found equally ugly. If Acura had used similar proportions to the Saturn grille (which it also resembles), it would have been much better.
My plan as a result is to skip this generation of Acuras and hope that the designers went back to the drawing board for the next generation. (Luckily, I don't NEED a new car for a long time anyway....)
