I wish they made a knock-off of the jdm grill. I would love to put one of those HUGE "H"s on the front. It would so complete the front.

Well there are some people that put the 04-05 red H on the 02-03 grill, Look up 88crx or sleepinEP3 members ride pages, they have done it. Its probably an easier alternative then cutting up your bumper.

When i saw the orange car in person, it looked like it fit good. . I wanted to do this too, but decided not to. the portion outlined in red is the section you need to cut out for the 04-05 grill to fit

o ok i see since the 05 grill goes all the way up to the hood. Is the top clip pattern the same?

that im not sure. I think he secured the grill with double side tape on the bottom of the grill. Since the 04-05 grill has the top piece to it, i think he clipped that to the bumper. not really sure though

Quick shots, took it on a USDM bumper though. Just to give you an idea. Here's some pics:mwink: Btw clip patterns are identical.

Here found an old picture of my old 04-05 JDM grill, there's a couple of plastic hooks on the bottom that hooks to the JDM bumper. http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j129/wilpezash/jdmgrill3.jpg

Not really sure if its going to fit. Haven't compared them to a USDM grill.

Bump! I need to know if anyone has done this to 04-05 USDM bumper. I need to know whether the bottom part of the grill will hook on to our bumper.

I don't recommend it. Your wasting your time I just got the 04 05 jdm gril and tried fitting it to my jdm 0203 bumper and it doesn't match up at all. The top holes don't match, the cut out for the radiator cap doesn't line up, the top of the grill is much longer and taller than the usdm grill. You'll be upset buying it

IC...I really dig those large mesh grill.. so much that i dont mind retrofitting...
So If I don't mind cutting the upper part of my usdm bumper, it should work alright though right? Im only concern with the bottom clips..
Do you still have the grill kits? http://www.japanparts.com/images/Ima...ase=1&no=12901 do you have the top cover as well?

So how about this? Does anyone have any idea if the 04-05 Authentic Mugen grill fit perfectly on the 02-03 JDM Bumper?
I have the 02-03 JDM Bumper but I want 04-05 Mugen grill on it. Thanx
