Hey buddy, that's a nice ride you got. I noticed there's a center piece OEM mesh grille on ebay for model 96-98. You should check it out. Looks real nice. Don't see many RL your model with a MESH GRILLE if you know what i mean. Here's the ebay item number: 260478953357 or you could search this on ebay: Acura RL 1996-1998 OEM UPPER center mesh grille chrome. Take care and ride safe buddy. Bo

Looks incredible. I thought that I was the only one who wanted to turbo my RL and put in a manual Transmision, but after I saw your RL, I see that there are other people who see the potential in this car.
