Sedan Radiator Cover
Ok, I searched and looked through 12 threads, so don't tell me to search - punks![IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG] j/k Seriously though, I know I need the sedan radiator cover for a proper altezza grill installation(which I am picking up tomorrow at Honda) and I want to make sure there are no other parts required (i.e. clips, screws, bolts etc). Is the cover the only part I need when I pick up while at the dealer? Because it seems almost like for every aftermarket part there are three surprise parts that go along with it! lol Thanks for the help!

You dont even need to buy the sedan radiator cover. You can save money by modifying the coupe radiator cover. All you have to do is cut the coupe cover so it fits. You can even use a dremel tool. But you can buy the sedan cover if you want. It took me like 20 mins to cut and sand it down so it looked smooth on the edges.
Just use the existing clips and screws like civicvtec said, and you that's all you need. Just make sure you don't drop any of the clips. I dropped one and couldn't find it. Dealer charged me $3 for another one.

The grill ends up being attached to the bumper cover, then the whole assembly goes together with the original fasteners where the bumper tabs and the radiator cover fasten just inboard of the headlights.
You end up using all the plastic fasteners, but not the self tapping screws that were in the original grill.
