Call Island Motorsports and ask for Jimmy. (714) 522-7457. I believe they are selling it for $235.

wow that is a lot more than I was expecting...I guess thats why people started making the replicas. how does it attach? I don't really want to spend that much if it can be popped out in a parking lot

It is secured by 5 clips across the top & double sided tape along the bottom and sides. It can not be pulled off in a parking lot unless someone pops your hood.

Who here painted the inside of the grille black and then cleared over the top of it for a two-tone effect? This is what the instructions say to do. I've got mine painted all white but am unsure of how "clean" it will look going with how the mugen instructions say to paint the inner portion a matte black. I don't know I've just been debating before installing it.

Icegrill, tried mailing you, but your mailbox was full!

Yep, paint the inner recess (including the connecting rods) black.. It looks much better IMO, and is the look Mugen intended:

Although the instructions are in Japanese, if you have a look carefully you will see a diagram where they show the two-tone line with measurements...

I drew a curve around the recess using the figures in the instructions and got my local Honda bodyshop to do the job. Very well done too.

Here is a pic of mine :cool: :

(and incase some of you think it looks Gold, it's not - it's silver, my camera's flash just has that effect!) :D

Originally I had mine painted white with the inner piece black but I think it looks better all white. The way Mugen has it, it looks like a floating emblem and like a piece is missing from the grill.

Yes it's genuine. Got it from TakaKaira in Japan, go back to the previous page and scroll down half way and you will see a pic of it on my Type-R.

Anj, after more research and consulting with my bodyshop I decided to have it painted black and white, per mugen instructions. Should be done tomorrow. I've had the damn grille since August but have just been waiting on having it installed because the shop is doing it for free. The manager and I will install it once finished should be perfect, I had a Japanese student translate the instructions to a T. Will post pics as soon as completed.
