Oh Noes! Am I Responsible for the New Acura "Power Plenum" Grille Treatment


Acura Legend coupe chop from 2007. Besides the new grille treatment I chopped here, I'd love to see Acura's flagship line include a 2 door, hopefully pillarless, as I created here.

CH O P — This is a chop from very early in my chopping 'career.' This generation of RLs lacks a coupe and they lack the very well-known Legend nameplate as well. I created this coupe, in the personal luxury style I like so much. The front grille treatment I added was just a way to highlight the Acura 'calipers' logo more. I had no idea that Acura would ever take my chop and run with it, lol. I just wish they had used the 2 door coupe part as well.

  1. And yet, your version of the grille looks infinitely better...

  2. thanks! I think the severe angularity of the new Acura bodies is off-putting too. the TL looks like it could cut you from behind, and the weird ZDX is just an alien... I like the Aztek II I created from the ZDX:
