- Finally got a nice one. Lol. The gloss black grille overlay is the perfect addition to the front end. Really flows with the rest of the gloss black plastic. Easy install. Simply clean the Area and stick the pieces on. Apply heat to the tape if installing in cold climates. Here’s where I picked this up eBay.
Just type in 2018-2020 Honda Accord gloss black grille overlay. You’ll see a lot. All the same.

That does look amazing! It's certainly a better, and more cost effective alternative to the grill that Honda offers. And I love the fact that the grill is ABS plastic which makes it durable and gives it a natural stock look. Keep up the vids!
Thanks man. I appreciate that. I agree it’s an awesome upgrade and looks oem. 👍🏻
Definitely looks good. Another mod to my list for my car
Thanks man. 👊🏼
Just purchased the same exact mod can’t wait to see how it looks
You got the link where can i order it?
Just put this on my car and looks great! Thank you so much for the step by step process, it definitely helped a lot! Your videos are excellent, keep it up!
Thanks man. So glad t hear it. It’s a great mod that’s makes it look more aggressive for sure. Keep me updated on your future mods.
Definitely, also adding a steel upper torque mount... will that make my car accelerate faster from a stop rather than the usual delayed and gradual acceleration?
Thanks!
It will make it pick up quicker. You won’t have the nose lifting as much and it’s more precise.
Gotcha, thanks! Definitely looking at that mod. Look forward to more videos!
Nice. No problem man. I’ll have another video in a couple days stay tuned 👊🏼
I know this video is older but I noticed you mentioned play on molding pieces. I thought something was wrong with my car. I am glad you mentioned this. My right side chrome molding has more play than the driver side too. Like you said the clips are the only thing holding on. Not sure why it’s like that.
Awesome! I’ll be doing this tomorrow and will follow your tips. Thank you
No problem
Nice I’m going to get this wen I get my accord. Easy and cost effective.
Just ordered, thanks for posting
No problem. Thank you for watching 👊🏼
It looks great. These are very easy for people to remove and steal. That’s just how some people are. I bought the actual replacement parts in black for these chrome pieces. It looks great but it was a real pain removing the whole bumper to replace it. Thanks for your videos though. Really enjoy them.
Where did you buy the black grille ?
eBay. It’s a whole replacement for over part of the grill. It really was a pain installing it though.
I did mine today, thank you
Mine comes in NEXT week so i can Black out the front of my 22 Sonic Grey. Just did all the black out emblems on back looks so much cleaner. Soon will do windows black out and top of Roof. Also have Black Duck wing coming in soon
I ordered these because of your video. Installed them today and they look great!
Nice. It makes it look a lot better.
Stephen C. How many Hp did u gained? 😂
Dino Climaco at least 4,000. It’s essentially now faster than any commercial airline. And that’s the only reason I purchased these...the top speed increase I get. It doesn’t gain as much HP as trolling RUclips for comments. Lord knows I’ve tried.
Hahaha i owned a basic honda accord 2015.. its not even a sport. Im planning to trade it up with a newer accord.. i just dont like the tail light 😭
Lol. You can change it by adding overlays and tint. It really makes the rear look soo much better
Looks bad ass especially with those rims
Thanks man. I appreciate that.
i think using a hair dryer to heat it up could help with the adhesive adhering to the car better. great video jon
Yeah. I used a heat gun and it definitely is the way to go. Thanks man. 👍🏻
Hey Jon I had to tell you man at first I didn’t like some of the mods you’ve been doing like the red lights turn signal Signals in the back and the 35% front headlights but now that you are putting everything together it makes sense now I want to do the same thanks for your videos awesome job.
Thanks man. I have something new coming. Keep checking my videos 👍🏻
I sure will by the way Jon where did you buy your license plate frame I live in California as well and some of the frames cover the state letters.
It’s from jewelry for cars. It’s pricey but best quality
Jon how did you paint the badge logo black?
Just plastidip
That chrome piece that has play I took it to the dealership and they tightened it
Plastidip is also a great alternative to this, that can also be removed down the road
looks nice...thinking about doing my black Accord
You should. That would look mean. 👍🏻
I'm sold ....ordering now. Changes the whole look of the front end...it looks like it has more substance
I 100% agree. It’s definitely worth it and gives it more if that aggressive look. 👍🏻
NICE❤
Hi Jon, great video, thanks. I know this is a few years old, but do you remember the eBay vendor for this grille overlay? I like the fitment of this grille. I've seen others where the fitment isn't quite as good. Thanks.
Thanks man. I don’t but to be honest almost all of these are the same. It’s just once in awhile you’ll get one that’s a little
Off. I would find a seller that has sold many of them and offers exchanges of something isn’t right. Hope that helps.
Nice helpful video! Thx!
No problem. Thank you. 👊🏼
I should do that too looks nice
Yeah. That was a must for me. The all black front looks so much better and flows. I have no idea why Honda didn’t make it like that especially since now they are with the new passport and civics
So sad, I couldn’t find it through the link, I’ll have to try and find one now. I’d love that for my all black 2019 Accord!
I’m sure they sold out. Just type in 2018 Accord gloss black grille
Overlay. You’ll find a lot. If you don’t mind waiting you can get it from China for under $40 👍🏻
Honda Jon, I found it in seconds! Thank you again! You are greatly appreciated.
Anytime man. 👊🏼
Looks good.. I like that alot
Thanks man
Beautiful
Thanks so much 👍🏻
Wow looks great. I have a 21 lx should fit right? Along with black spoiler and a rear black H logo
Thanks. Yeah it will fit perfectly.
You know where I can get a red engine cover for 2019 2.0 sport accord ? Your the guru of 10 gen accord mods👍
lol. Thanks man. I would definitely go oem on that. Order the oem one from any Honda dealer from the type r civic. It’s a perfect fit. When I get my 2.0 that’s the route I’m going

Looks good!! I got my Black 2.0T 6 Speed with this option and love it. Best of luck with it. p.s. Is that front H a flat/matte gray? I can't tell whether you didn't remove tape from it or not. Either way I think the entire front end would look great in gloss black including that H . Apparently the 3rd time is the charm. Cheers
Thanks man. I plastidipped it gunmetal then put about 3-4 coats of glossifier on it. I thought of that but feel a black H wouldn’t stand out at all. It reminds me of a poor paint job where this just sprayed everything the same color. I like the contrast 👊🏼
Looks pretty good. I do like the smoked chrome on my sport vs. the regular chrome on the other models. Overall I like the look of the front end of the Accord. I think the black area looks great from a distance. But it looks like it was designed by three different people. There's the opening in the bottom where the radar is, the bar in the middle and the honeycomb style above that. It doesn't flow well. It would have looked much better if it was consistent. What really sold me on the Accord is the dash and the overall interior. The dash is pretty much perfection in my mind. I know some people don't like the touch screen looking like it was attached to the dash but look at where it is in relation to the instrument cluster. It is the exact same height so you don't have to move your eyes much to see the info on it. I also have a Civic and you have to move your eyes over, and then down to see the info. My Civic is more fun to drive overall, but the Accord is a great cruiser for family trips with a ton of room inside.
Nice bro 🤙🏻
Thanks man
First off I love your videos since you've taught me so much since Ive bought my 2018 accord. I was wondering if could give me your opinion on what kind of cover or decal you recommend for protecting the front bumper and grill? I've seen plastic covers and even some decals but the one thing I'm leaning toward is the vinyl "bra" that goes over the front end. I'm just noticing so many little scratches and dings on my lower front bumper so I want to try and protect it best i can. Thanks so much!
Thanks so much. That means a lot to me 👊🏼. I would definitely put clear vinyl over the front. If your not comfortable doing it yourself, any good tint shop does it and guarantees it. It will definitely prevent those annoying rock chips.
@@HondaJon Oh wow never even thought of a tint shop so I'll definitely give that a try. Thanks so much!
Anytime bro.
Hey Jon, Im in Canada and and wanting to get this mod done, but just like you said in the video, some of these are shorter on the sides. This one looks perfect, this is what I need. Any idea where I can get this specific one nowadays? Thanks
I would highly recommend the oem one. That’s what I’m going to get. Perfect fit and looks great.
Looks soooo cool!...thank you Jon
No problem man.
Have you thought about doing any performance mods?
I don’t really plan to do anything. Maybe an intake tube. I have never been a fan of messing with the engineering of a vehicle. Definitely not trying to make it something it is not. I love the power and ride. Just like to personalize it. Thanks for watching. I appreciate the support
Which is better? This product or wrapping it?
Jon looks good!
Thanks so much. I appreciate your support
@@HondaJon just curious any audio upgrades planned?
Not at the moment. I know a lot of people hate the audio system but for me it works.
@@HondaJon did the kicker hideaway under passenger seat on mine... Game changer my friend.. Keep the videos coming.. Want to see the black out of the window chrome
That sounds good. I would upgrade the sound system but don’t have the money to invest in it. I’ll definitely get that done next week. It will complete the look once the window trim is blacked out. 👍🏻
In February I bought a beautiful, white 2015 Crosstour from a Honda dealer. Two previous owners in the Southeast. I live in the Southeast. But low and behold, yesterday I noticed the paint is peeling around the hatch window. No previous wrecks or repairs. Honda Customer Service will do nothing despite white paint being such a problem for them they had to issue an extended warranty to cover it. My car is no longer under that warranty, but the paint should not be peeling off a 2015 Honda that's been well maintained and kept out of weather. I'm pissed.
yo man, nice video! but I went tot click the link in the description and it brings up a "error Page". you might wanna consider tagging a new link or just say what & who were the exact company you got your parts from
Thanks man. I will for sure. I noticed these sellers will make new accounts after awhile.
I have a question
The wires for the rear Brake lights are black, purple, brown and gray... Do you know which is the hot, taillight and turn ...f you know.. Thank you
Hey John. Can you please help me out??? Do they make one of these for a Honda sport 2020 for the stock trunk spoiler???
Real nice Raiders Honda
Lol. I like the Niners.
@@HondaJon Boooooo
Haha. They both suck 😂
I'm about to order for my car..but I have the red H emblem on my car. I wonder if the opening will fit over the Red H emblem.. any of you guys tried to install with the red H emblem?
Did yours come with some blemishes?? I have spots not entirely glossy black. Idk if that’s normal and if I should get a replacement. Thanks for your input.
Mine was a little rough on one of the edges but that’s all. I expected a few blemishes. It is really noticeable? Maybe put some gloss black paint on it?
Nice and easy mod to the car. Great factory look. I clicked on the ebay link couldnt find it. Can you send me more info on how I can get the same piece you purchased. Thanks
Thanks man. I agree. It’s easy and really gives it a more aggressive look. Just check eBay and type in 2018 accord gloss black grille overlay. You’ll see a bunch. You shouldn’t spend more then $40 for it. It might be more if you buy from the United States. I got mine from China and it took about two weeks.
The link you provided it says the page is missing.
Yeah. Usually the sellers stop selling or open new accounts. There are a lot of sellers with the same exact one. Just type that info in and you’ll find a lot to choose from.
Cool I just put mine today. Yeah those alcohol pads left a oily rainbow color on the old grill so I had to wipe it off before putting on the new grill. Came out good. Also the first side piece..you should’ve started from the little piece, right to left then you wouldn’t have had to tuck that end piece in. Either way great job
Awesome. Don’t you just love it?
Honda Jon heck yeah it looks awesome. BoostedWhipz sure know what he’s doing
Honda Jon, looks great! What is the honda option? Just to see it. Thanks.
Thanks. The oem one is nice too. It makes it look more like a civic. It’s about $200. The downside is u have to remove the bumper.
@@HondaJon thanks man!!
I would like to know how it holds up to washing, and if the gloss surface becomes a swirl magnet. That is the value of vinyl stick I guess. I can just see this having to be polished all the time.
It’s perfect. It’s actually easier to keep clean than the factory dark chrome which spotted all the time.
I am more concerned with the propensity of plastic to scratch and swirl. How has that been?
No scratches at all. It’s tough. I would definitely get it
Looks great! Btw can you go through the car wash with this mod?
Yeah definitely. Once put on it’s not going anywhere. To remove you have to heat up the tape so it can be removed.
thank you!
Anytime man.
@hondajon does this one run flush with the hood or does it look raised? And any preference on this verse the vinyl wrap? Thanks!
It is a little higher but it’s hard to notice cause it’s at an angle. I love mine. I personally wouldn’t wrap it because it would easily get chipped.
Where can I get this from? Thanks for the video.
Check on eBay. Just search up gloss black grille for 2018 Honda Accord. 👍🏻
Dose anyone know where I can get one that fits the 2021 Touring?, they made the grill slightly bigger and the 18-20 doesn’t fit.
Please give feed back on this let's make this a recall
The smoked out grille on the Sport looks so much better than the black, plus these cheap stick on grilles fall off or get stolen. Waste of money. Oh and the black out thing on every single car on the street is old now
try keeping that chrome clean
What website did u buy the scam ones from?
Hey Honda Jon, on the ebay listing if you look at the last image it says NOT FIT SPORT VERSION. Are you sure this is the link? Can you provide an alternative link for 2019 Sport model?
If it looks like what I have it will. Most of the listings are wrong in what they say it fits since they aren’t too familiar with all the Honda models. Type in 2018 accord black grille cover. You’ll find a ton. Don’t spend more than $60 total. 👍🏻
You should of just got it painted I found a shop that’s going to gloss black paint all my front and side trim and my ventshades $200.
Not bad. I like the fact I can go back to stock though. If I sell the car I can get more for my car having a stock appearance rather than all these mods done to it.
Hey Jon,
I know you said just type glossy black grille overlay in Ebay.
But can you please tell me which exact one you got out of so many so I can get exact same one?
Thank you.
They are all the same. Just different sellers. I would get the cheapest one. No more than $50. If you want you can find one and show me the item and I’ll let you know if it’s a good one if you’d like
Has anybody noticed the rims on the sport 1.5 accord they are completely opposite rotation
Do they have this is red though?
Have you seen the vinyl overlays from kooltint604?
He’s awesome. I have gotten a lot of stuff from him. I just don’t have faith in my wrapping skills. If I lived closer I would have him wrap it. He does great work 👍🏻
Just ordered mine, says it comes in June 😕
Loveeeeee this 🔥 How does it stand up against car washes ?
It’s really strong. When I went to remove it I couldn’t get all the tape off. It’s that strong. So make sure you want it before
Putting it on or don’t add as much tape as I did. I applied a lot and it was overkill.
Jon! I finally installed this piece but I misaligned the top edge and didn't notice until today when the right side was slightly elevated. How do you recommend I take it off (so I can realign it)? I tried pulling it off but I feel like I'm going to break the plastic underneath
That’s ok. Just heat it up and start from one side. As you pull out continue applying heat underneath. It will come off easily. Heat is the trick. Then simply remove all the tape and reapply. That’s the nice thing. You can just do it again. 👍🏻
@@HondaJon haha I didn't think of that. I was going to drench it in goo gone. Thanks again man. I'm going to post a video when I'm all done.
Lol. No need. Heat is the only thing you need.
Very nice
You may want to consider the other 2 pieces that black out the front of the car.
Thanks man
How long did they stay on? Considering washing and weather I was interested if you had any issues.
No issues whatsoever. They hold up well as long as it’s installed correctly
Mine is EXL model it's silver chrome
Hi Jon, can I get the link so I can purchase it pls and thank you.
I would just search up gloss black grille overlay for 2018 Honda Accord. They are all the same. Don’t spend over $50 for it 👍🏻
Hi, where did you get yours? It looks amazing and would like to steal your idea please.
Thanks man. Check out eBay. They have a lot of them. Search for 2021 Honda accord black grille cover. Don’t pay over $50 for it 👍🏻
@@HondaJon thanks!!
Where's the link?
Bad ass!!
Link for the mod ?
so this snaps on as opposed to the vinyl wrap? I'm looking to do the chrome delete vinyl wrap for the wheels and windows, will this look weird or will it go well?
It would look perfect. It all looks the same when done. This is much easier than vinyl wrapping the grille.
hey fam the error below says error,
Beautiful! Hey do you know if these fit on the 2021 sport?
This won’t but I believe they make one for the 2021.
@@HondaJon Ya. I was looking on ebay but only see carbon fiber one. Thanks tho
Drop the link
Hey jon! Who did you order the grill from? I’d hate to order it from the same company that you bought the first one from China.
It won’t let me look at the transaction. The seller probably closed there account. This seller is the only one I would recommend:
rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F123386422381
Got it in 8 days.
You think I should go with the vinyl overlay on the new Accord as I am goin 50% smoke headlights I am trying not to chance any damage especially if I decide on body kit parts I thought you had some damage when you installed the plastic overlay Which one looks betterJon the vinyl or overlay Thankyou my friend I should have sent comment after I saw the tape you did I just can’t seem to decide to go with the plastic or not I guess I might look better what’s your opinion as I value your advice We seem to have the same ideas on mods
Thanks man. The plastic is easier but the vinyl looks great. If you feel
Good about wrapping I would
Go that route. Looks good, no fitment issues, and will stay there until you want to remove it. The black looks great on the Accord.
@@HondaJon I think I have enough skill to go with the vinyl overlays so I think that’s the way to go after talking to you Thankyou
Nice. Can’t wait to see it 😎
We got the same car but for some reason looking at others people car makes me want your car even tho we got the same one...if that makes any sense lol. Probably the mods
Haha. I’m the same. When I see ads for the Accord makes me want to buy another. 😆
Ever thought about lowering your Accord an inch?
I have but don’t think I will. I try to do mods that don’t cost that much. It would look good though.
im just gonna dip mine
Jon, just an fyi, i used the link in your video and bought this item from the same seller you bought this from. Just today i got a ID holder instead :(
Sorry to hear that. Definitely contact the seller and see what happened. I’ve noticed when buying from overseas they ship a lot and sometimes mix things up. Keep me posted.
Hey bro you got a link for the mods?
Seller change all the time. Just type in 2018 Honda Accord gloss black grille overlay on eBay. You’ll see a lot. Probably get this for under $40. 👍🏻
I want to try this out. How are they holding up so far?
It’s great. The tape is so strong you won’t have an issue with it. Definitely completes the front end. It flows with the rest of the gloss black.
Jon_which website did you get it from? That looks legit.
Thanks man. Here’s the link rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F123386422381
Honda Jon _sweet ty for the vid and info
No problem. It’s a great mod 👊🏼
Hi Jon,
Which 3m tape did you use for this install?
I just used what came with it. I was skeptical at first but it’s extremely strong. If it seems weak I would just get 3m automotive tape which is extremely durable. I doubt this stuff is auth
Will that tape hold when its rains or washing the car lol looks kinda sketchy
Been looking at these pieces va replacing entire grille. But didn’t the sport already come with black grilles?
It comes with a darker chrome but it’s definitely not black. The black sets it off
Honda Jon gotcha!!
Making it black really finishes it off. I don’t know why it didn’t come that way.
hi I cant open this link on Ebay to buy for my car can you please send me keywords or send again link what should I search and thank you so much for this nice video
No problem. Just type in 2018 Accord gloss black grille cover on eBay. You’ll see a lot
Of them.
Hey where did you get that grey front Honda emblem?
I removed it and plastidipped it in gunmetal. Then put some glossifier on it. I love the color matched emblem. 👍🏻
I have an Ex and i chrome deleted for the top of the door but I have a chrome strip that runs along the bottom of both doors I’m have a hard time finding a place that sells chrome delete for that. Any suggestions?
Yeah. That is actually easy. Just buy a roll of vinyl. I believe there is a small gap on top and bottom. You can apply the vinyl and easily tuck it around.
@@HondaJon have a suggest site I buy it from ? To make sure it’s a good quality?
I just go on eBay. I would suggest Avery supreme wrapping vinyl. It’s great stuff and designed for this. Don’t buy from China. You can find a lot of reputable companies on eBay.
where you pick up your front license plate frame?
I think I got it from eBay. It was cheap. About 12 for two of them.
Did you get these on ebay? I wanted to get the same exact one
I did. Just search up accord gloss black grille cover for your year 👍🏻
How is washing it? Does water get into the crevices? Does the paint still look shiny and clear like the rest of the car?
No problem at all. I tried to take it off and it wasn’t. So make sure you want it on there
@@HondaJon thank you! Is the paint the same as the car? Like shininess level? And for caring for the paint of the panels it’s just like washing and waxing the paint normally?
Yeah. It holds up perfect. Really durable. 👍🏻
@@HondaJon and one last thing, plus thank you for your help! The link no longer works, I found some that are like it on eBay, any recommendations? Otherwise I’ll try the one that seems most genuine.
Yeah they are all the same
On eBay. Find the best price and go with that. The oem is awesome just a lot more money
Asking before I watch the whole video ... Is there a reason you went with the mod and not just paint the grill parts gloss black?
Cause I want the option to change back if I get tired of it
I found a bubble on the 'chrome' overlay and now I'm so bummed. Guess this is what I gotta do too.
Yeah that “chrome” isn’t that durable. It’s also almost impossible to keep clean. Either put the covers over or swap it for the oem accessory one. Both are better options
I have the same car but it’s a lease so I was wondering if this is easy to remove before I give my car back. I just want to make sure it doesn’t mess anything up before the lease ends
It was almost impossible to remove. The part came off but I couldn’t get all the tape off. If I were you I would use less tape. I overdid it. You only need some around the edge. That way you’ll be able to remove it easier
@@HondaJon and tape won’t leave anything behind on the original grille ?
Just don’t put a lot. I put too much and had to reinstall the overlay because it wouldn’t come off
@@HondaJon thanks man I appreciate it
Anytime man. If you need help to email me. I’m glad to help. 👊🏼
How thick is the plastic? Can you tell where the plastic starts and ends
It’s pretty thin. It fits nicely. If you look close you can tell it’s an overlay but trust me it’s not bad at all. It looks so much better since it matches the rest of the trim. I wouldn’t hesitate to do it.
how many carwashes before it comes off?
Never lol
Seriously it sticks so well that I couldn’t get it off when I tried without damaging the grille.
I got mine today and pretty disappointed the middle peice you can still see the chrome from the top and the side peices you can still see chrome from the top and along the tips... I didnt tape it on yet just put it on to see if fits proper. Looks like I gotta keep looking
Yeah they aren’t perfect for sure but I think they fit well. I’ve seen someone just take the oem grille off and have it painted. That seems like a great way to make it permanent. I might have to do that. I like the style of our oem grille over the accessory one.
@@HondaJon yeah I think I'm just gonna stick this one on for now until I'm ready to find something else it shows just a very little of the chrome which I dont think is that bad
I agree. Mine does too a little bit but you can’t really see it unless you look really close. It definitely looks better in my opinion
@@HondaJon what size 3m tape did you use to add extra? 1.5mm?
I found the 1 inch wide 3m tape is the best. You can always cut it down. Here’s the best stuff I’ve used. www.amazon.com/dp/B009NP1JQC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_NrSAEbYNWCZPM
Also, I don't see an "H" as part of this, so this won't black out the H?
No this just covers the chrome grille. It goes around the emblem.
Would that fit on the 22 accord
Should definitely fit. Just search for 2022 accord overlay and you’ll find them.
How did you get the honda eblem on the front on black?
Do you mean how I stuck it back on?
