Which Grille is the right OEM GRILLE?

[Sucka]

I'm trying to look for the GLOSSY SHINY OEM BLACK GRILLE. (The one that is shiny on the 04-05 EP3) but according to Honda there is 2 kinds. Which one is the shinny one?

There is this one for the 04-05 EP3:
GRILLE, FR. *NH655M* (TYPE-R) AVANT-GARDE GRAY

AND

This one for the 02-03 EP3:
GRILLE, FR. *NH544M* (TYPE R) GUNMETAL COOL BLACK METALLIC

The 02/03 and 04/05 USDM EP3 had the same grill... The CTR's are completely diff however. The 02/03 CTR had a grill similar to ours and the 04/05 uses the BIG red H emblem (Honda Pilot size). The 04/05 CTR grill also has a black trim that goes around the edges of the grill. Hope this helps.

They are different, my 02' came with a black plastic grille that either had no paint or was a flat/satin paint. The newer models came with a gloss super dark grey painted finish that had mettalic in it. I had to purchase 2 grilles so far and the differences are night and day.

The 02-03 Grill should be what you're looking for.

thats what i thought too but is honda listing wrong? Cause i know the 04-05 ep have the shinner ones. So im guessing they flipped it around?

Every other parts site has the correct grilles showed, Majestic has them backwards, typical for Majestic.
