Dang.. so I'm actually paying about $30(for grill) + $40-50(for paint job)... so total conversion's gonna cost

$80-90... I'm not sure if it's worth that much.. gotta sit and think.

For my euro grill (altezza), it cost me $35 to get the lip painted. They told my it was the same quality that the Benz and BMW factories do when they paint cars.

I went around looking for some local shops. I wanted to get it painted at the shop that repaired my car for both accidents, because I somewhat trust them, but they were on vacation. So I went to a Maaco, and they gave me bull about waiting 1 week for it to get finished and $75. Then I tried a local Collision Center. After giving them my paint code, they had my grill ready the next day. It came out pretty well!

i would just spray paint it black and then a clearcoat...depends on what color your car is though. I think black would look good on my red car.

u can get that from any honda dealer or ebay, the good thing about these grills is that the size of the Honda emblem is the same as the one in the back of the car, so u can find colored one for it easilly

Ok i think i want to get an RS grill, but i dont want the "RS" emblem on there. I would get an altezza style grill but i do want the Honda emblem. What is the best way to go for this? should i get the RS grill and try to take the emblem off or get an altezza style grill and put the honda emblem on?
