It can't just be me that thinks the standard Acura grille is pretty ugly. There are a lot of places that will do custom Acura grilles to remedy the ugly metal plate grille of an Acura. Take a look at what a little custom work can do.
Let me start by saying I LOVE the Acura grill. The 2012 line up has their best grill to date. It is a key feature of the acura brand and I find it stunning.
That first one is hideous. Way too much mesh.
Second is still too much mesh and that hood and grill with all the paneling is just way too much. Gross.
Third one is better than the first too but just looks like a cheap "sport" version of what acura already has.
The OEM one just looks more luxurious, less try hard, and is a great example of LESS IS MORE.
The TL with UA9 plates look great and I agree Acura's with custom front grilles look far better than when stock. I don't know what Acura was thinking when they designed them

To each their own, but I cannot believe that you find the Acura grille "stunning." There isn't much design to it at all. It's a big metal shield platered on the front of the vehicle. It is a serious reason why I wouldn't by an Acura.
I can see where you are coming from with the mesh. There are plenty of other custom jobs that use less mesh but still improve upon the Acura grille. Even if you like the Acura grille, I'm sure there are custom jobs that you would approve of.
Its obvious that the Acura designers wanted to stand out and make a statement. The latest versions are much calmer which I like, I bought the ILX because it looks good. But past ones were a bit like Mutant Ninja Warrior like. The different grills are not bad when they are body color. The chrome mesh one reminds me of a Bosch stove hood screen. More power to you on the mods though.
That car looks like it eats children. Good for the designers for standing by their work, but I think if you look at overall public reaction to the Acura grille you would see that it has not been well received. I'll back pedal a bit on the mesh overkill though.
Maybe something more like this.
I also like the ones that use the body color as the main piece instead of having the original design with the silver plate.
whats funny is that this look is not all that new to the industry, some cars already have spindle grille-like design, the 2012 Infiniti M has that look going on
Most reviewers have stated that the ILX grill is the best looking of the Shield grill design of Acura's automobiles. I actually always liked the grill since the first time Acura came out with them, it gave the cars a more aggressive look

Why did you buy the ILX over the TSX? I am curious to see. The TSX is $4000 more. Was price the only reason to not go for the TSX?
