I got the Grill thats on the Blue car in Pic #1 (Thats a BC2 Bunper he has with it so it should fit the BC2 bumper) Mine is not the same as the 3rd Pic.

I have it on my 02 LX Sedan, Stock Bunper, It fits Fine, & looks GREAT!!!!

There are 2 corners that dont fit perfect at first (cant tell unless looking at her from a specific angle), but a little sanding hear and there and it should go in alot better. Im doing a slow fit adjusting a little at a time sanding where needed. Ill have her fully primed and painted when I get paid. She looks good in black, but Im matching the body and painting the alluminum mesh black.

Ill have pics later next week.


I got mine off ebay, they have the same modle in CF, and AutoExe Grill replicas also.

This is exactly whhat she looks like

That is the CF version, thats on Mickey's car, but mine being in black primer looks the same, but will be painted to match the car, but with the alluminum mesh painted black (It's removeable)

Or just convert the front end to the msp bumper i could not find any grills/ lips that looked good with the stock ES front bumper. good luckrob

too much $ and effort for a lateral move in my opinion

then again I don't have thousands of dollars to throw away on appearance mods

 

[joka1]

the other bonus is the front opening on the es grill is not big enough to support a intercooler. that is why i swapped to the msp front end!! plus it looks better. so it is just not for cosmetic reasons!!

muahaha

but yes, you have to cut it

 

[NOTSPCY]

thanks but i dont have the stock es bumper anymore i have the bc2 kit on

The grill I got, Fits the BC2 As I said before, you can tell because it's the same grill in your Pic 1 with a Blue car a BC2 bumper and the same grill I have (That fits a LX/ES/DX stock bumper) as you can see from the Pic I posted of it is installed on a stock bumper.


I think this fitment is fine

MUCH better in person, as thats a very crappy Pic, Ill have nice clear pics when I get my Digi back next week.

I dont beleve the AutoEXE replica Grill will fit the Stock Sedan bumper, I beleve Ive seen a few BC2's with them.

They dont make them any more, I beleve all of the ones purchaseable are replicas.

I was a little nervous, but I got EXACTLY what I expected, and it looks BETTER then I expected.


Ohh and you can get sweet deals off ebay 450$ for my rims Shipped (ADR Sokudo8 17's Gun Medal Polished Lip) Brand new in original boxes with the protective plastic and hair net. Squeeky clean, I was a nervous reck untill they all arrived, but they got here and all was well, and Im in Canada so the s*** had to cross the border.

Ohh your deal on the new rims, is the EXACT one I got, although I had to pay a little more due to custome charges and so on, it came to arround $450-$500us. Its a great deal!!!!!!!!

So why are you scared to get a grill from there for 100$?

Not too many options....

I paid 70$can for mine shipped so it was just over $60us.

There is just no comparison to the stock grill.
