if you click on SPEEDINFINITI it should take you to his store. If no just search "civic si 02" on ebay.com not ebay.co.uk. Also I used the general search supposedly there there are a bunch of companies selling them

Actually, I picked up the grill this week. The finish was a bit gloss for my taste.

So I sanded it down and in the process of coating it with Rustoleum Flat Black spray paint (two coats).

Good to read, mine will be arriving soon.

So how would you rate fitment/finish on a scale of 1-10. (10 being excellent)?

Well the finish as far as color wasn't his taste so he had me paint it white to match his car and it looked sweet.

The fitment part wasn't a factor at all.

So i'd give it a 10 but based more on the price than anything else.

It's hard to buy ebay parts and have them turn out nice.

I'll try to get picks of it and post them up.

1. Im gonna sand it down and paint it satin black to match my slips and mudguards as well.

2. Less is more. I like things clean and simple.

i actually did that to my original H, i painted it to match my headlights(a metallic gunmetal color) it came out nice. then i opted for the RED H thanx to a friend.

Personally, I'd give the fitment about an 8 and the finish about a 2. There were two tabs on the bottom portion of the bumper's grill opening that I had to shave in order for the new grill to sit flush. Plus, the tapping screws which held the bottom of the OEM grill were stripped for some reason. I couldn't reuse them, so I fastened the bottom of the new grill to the bumper with black 8" zipties. The new grill definitely needs to be painted in order to look good. The Rustoleum Flat Black I used was really nice and the spray can distributed the paint evenly into the crevices of the grill without beading.

It reminds me of a CTR EK9 grill with its mesh pattern.

thanks a lot for the input. So when you got the grill it was a glossy black color?
