best place to buy altezza grill

i'm sure that my member status says noobie, but, i've been coming here for the past year and a half. i want to know where the best place is to buy an altezza upper grill. i haven't quite figured out how to use the new search or the new parts list plus i know that many of you have the altezza grill, and now i want one. so if any of you know where i can order one for a decent price, please answer this forum.

hey man, you can try the group buy...
it ends on the 23rd, and the guy needs 30+ buyers, which i guess is possible but not likely. give it a try; you'll get your money back if it doesn't go through.

and yes, it's cheaper than any altezza you'll find on ebay.

heh, ignore the flame. your question was fine, IMO.

ebay is the best bet.. dont pay over $40, thats a rip off. I got mine for er... $32 I think, shipped. just look around ebay and search for it. the sellers post it now and then.

Just wait for one on ebay, unless you want to pay over $60 for it at tornactive. By the way, if you have a coupe then the radiator cover won't fit. Sedan cover will work fine.

Coupe radiator cover will NOT work with alteeza grill. I just installed mine a couple of weeks ago, and I had to go to the dealership to get the sedan radiator cover. Some people just choose to go without the radiator cover.

What problems do you find with putting the grill on with the coupe radiator cover? Mine fits just fine. Maybe it's the brand of grill?

ebay...$20.00


HCRACING is the guy...'buy it now' or you could go with the GB from TORNACTIVE (but I don't think that they have enough buyers yet)

I got the one off ebay from hcracing. Looks just like the alteeza grill that tornactive carries. My radiator cover stuck out too far, and I couldn't get the bumper back on with the grill. The sedan radiator cover fit perfect. That's weird that yours fit. Maybe your car accidentally came with the sedan cover instead of the coupe one. Just a thought.

Shipping was like 3 or 4 days for me. I would email hcracing and ask him for a tracking number. He's usually pretty quick to respond. I've ordered two things from him and haven't had any problems. Yeah, that price on the sedan radiator cover is about right. I think you can get it from Majestic Honda for around $10, but then you have to pay shipping and wait on that as well.

you 'can' run without...but finish the look

and since you got it from HCRACING...you got yourself a deal...just go buy a cover for a sedan.


took me 2 days to get mine ask him for the tracking number for UPS

tornactive has a good group buy of $30 going on right now..

unfortunately you have to wait till the buy ends at 2/23 or when the amount is set.

I also bought my altezza grill from hcracing just last week. Took about a week to get it. It's a perfect fit. I was a little nervous about ordering from ebay, but he was great to deal with. Got a tracking number and came on time. Can't beat it for $34 shipped. I didn't want to have to wait for 30 people to join the GB so I paid the extra $4. At the time I ordered the grill, I went to my Honda dealer and ordered a sedan radiator cover too so they would come in at the same time and I could install it together. Matter of fact, they got three grills for sale going on right now on ebay for hcracingusa.
