so heres my plan.........in search for the upper grill of my choice i couldnt find one that i liked that everyone else didn't already have....so i came across this
http://www.tornactive.com/pd_honda_civic_9900_mugen.cfm
and i wondered.............how much modification will it take to make this fit my 2002 2 door?
i realize it wont be cheap....but everything is possible. anybody know how the connections to the car itself vary between 2000 and 2002 models? and if and how much fiberglass work it would take to mold the shape so that it would look factory? THis is the grill i want....except i want real mugen and i don't want the ugly 'mugen' logo top center. any info, links or general "you are an idiot" would be appreciated. wait no,.....minus the idiot part

if you learn how to do plastic welding and that good stuff liek from a community college im sure you could do it... all you ahve to do is cut it in certain areas and melt it back together with a special tool... its not that hard that might be a way that could work or you could always go the fiber glass route...pretty much what you have to do is buy it then test fit it and see what kind of modifictations you have to make if its to small fiberglass an extra piece or something in there... I guess that would work... but what do I know im just rambling...sorry for wasting your time

thank you guys for the advice.....the cat poo part...............ummm.....i'm a little skeptical if it would work
i may take you up on that offer to make one for me......... and i might be looking for an open mouth grill come 1 month or so....if you still have it i may take it.
by the way what is the open mouth grill made of?

Bring it to a body shop (that knows what they are doing) and they should be able to cut an opening for the Mugen grill and fit it in your bumper. Most likely they would have to mold it in with fiberglass so it would look all one piece and not a seperate bumper and grille. Cost would probably vary from shop to shop, but it would look good in the end.
