Canada Honda and radiator cover

I phoned around Honda dealers at where I live, and they are charging me
$99 for a grill cover + tax. Is there ANYONE out there on this site who is wiling
to help me out by buying me a grill cover from US and then ship it up here?
I will use money order as payment if you are willing to help out. Also, if anybody
that lives in BC area and knows any dealership that sells grill cover for cheap,
please please do notify me. Thanks.

PS by grill cover I mean the radiator cover that is needed for the altezza grill
that I bought.

U know crystal mall right near metro? Well I saw a RS grill in the display in one of those car shops on the lower level. I can't tell you how much it is but guessing (how those stores rip you off) it might be well over 100. Just a thought incase you wanna check it out but I think it'll be over 100.

U can always get some wire fencing and put it on instead (lol jk)

Not the grill, but the stock sedan grill cover needed for the altezza grill.

Holy crap! $100! What a rip off! I got mine for around $17US from my local Honda dealership. But, you can order the piece from Honda Automotive Parts.com for a good price too. It's $10.85 from there. Shipping isn't too bad either. Check it out.

It's part #2.

If your car was Silver, we could trade my grill and cover for your coupe grill and cover, only cost would be shipping.

My car is silver. I only need the sedan grill/radiator cover to make my altezza grill I bought look nicer. PM me and let me know what's up.

This is kind of off the subject, but are you going to paint the altezza grill as well? Or did you already? I just want to see how it went.

Are you going to get it painted by a professional? Or are you going to paint it yourself?

Paint and install together by professional. I am hoping to get lip kits soon (I have no idea where and when), and I hope that is the time I get my grill painted and installed. If not, then I guess I will just go ahead and do the grill first.
Why ask Azure?

Because I just painted my altezza grill (did it myself). I used the 'spray can in paint code thing'. It turned out very nice. The only thing is that it doesn't have the 'shine/gloss' like the rest of the car. I guess I'll have to put clear coat as well, but I was told that this spray paint is single stage. Meaning the clear coat is already in it. I might end up getting it repainted by the Honda dealership tomorrow. I'm going to ask how much it'll cost me.

That's true. One of the members here got his doen for $75. A little expensive, I know, but at least you know it's done right with the right paint. I guess we'll see...

Paint is usually quite expensive, the installation part costs almost diddly.

Actually I just need to get it painted. I'm going to install it myself. Most likely the same time I install my CAI.

Keep us posted. When do you plan on installing the kit and the grill. Oh, and what kind of front do you have or are planning to get?

You lucky bastard! Hehe! Well, I do know someone that can get me a discount on the paint job at the dealership. I'm not sure how much, but at least it's something.
