Grille

Any 7th Gen owners out there with an upper and/or lower Grille? Thinking of getting one or both. Don't know what color for the lower, silver or black? I do know I want the race pattern for the lower grille. I thinking Upper Grille w/ Black Lower Grille. I would also would put the Honda "H" or a Tanabe Emblem on the Upper Grille Tell me what you think and upload pic if you have one or both.

I was thinking about getting one also, but I didn't like the center/side pieces being separate. I just want one piece covering the whole area. I e-mail grill-tech and they said that they couldn't make it in one piece, just in the center and side pieces as shown on the website.

Does anyone else think this looks dumb because it doesn't even cover the entire width of the lower grill?

before you get the black one, wait for a pic from me. i ordered the black ones, but they sent me the silver ones insted. was rather mad but put the on just for a look. i actually like them silver! now that i think about it, the black will not look nice at all because that area is already dark, and with a black girll, it will not look any different than not having it on.

Ebay is honestly the cheapest place for them......others sell them for 70-90+ which i think is really pricey! esp for the rs!

grilltech lowergrills only cost 29.99+ shipping on ebay.
i think you were taking about GRILLCRAFT. those are expensive ones. honestly grillltech grills are very high quiality grills. you wont regret it.
but yea ebay is the probabaly the best place to get uppergrill , price is good compare to other company

the grillcraft grills look good when there installed. But you have to drill into the bumper to put them on, why doesent anybody make grills that you can use with the stock bumbers without haveing to drill into the bodywork?

got the pics up.

Ok, I've got the pictures up for the front grill by grille-tech. got to "my ride"and check it out. i got the silver racing style. i ordered black but they sent silver intead. but i am happy with the silver because the black will not stand out at all.

as mentioned in the past post, the quality of the grill is exceptional. thick and heavy, not flimsy or soft.

also, there is no drilling involved. all i used was tie-rods to secure them into place. this gives me an option of removing the grills without having to patch up and holes.

unfortunately, the grill does not sit flush with the lower postion, but upon close inspection, it does not look very nice. but then, no one's gonna stand that close to the car to see it anyways.

have a look and decide for yourself.
