Coupe grill question

Some have been saying on the 2001-2003 coupe the type r grill will not fit properly it will only fit sedan. Would i have to get the sedan radiator cover in order for it to fit? How would it look with no cover on it? Could it hurt anything by not having the cover

Re: Coupe grill question

you get much better airflow to the engine without the cover. i threw mine away long time ago.

Re: Coupe grill question

I ran my ep3 without the grill for a good while. It doesnt look bad but it does make alot more airflow to your motor and radiator.

Re: Coupe grill question

there is supposed to be an opening between hood and grill for airflow. its how the car was made. even with the cover, there is a gap.
