2door and 4door upper grill the same???

cause i just tore apart my bumper and grill to put on my altezza grill and this thing doesn't come close to wanting to fit. so is there some secret to it or is there to different front grills and i got the 4 door one?

The RS grill needs modification to fit the coupe. So they might be a little different. I don't know about the altezza grill. Try searching in the tech forum.

i believe to get the grill to work on the 2dr you need to purchase the gray piece ( that it connects to) for the 4 door, its like 30 bux or so...

search around and you'll find the full info

they fit both 4 door/2 door its just a matter of whether or not you need to do some modification in order to fit...
i know the RS grill is made for the 4 door so you need to switch the back peice with a 4 door if you have a coupe. either that or just leave the black back peice off...
the altezza grill, i thought it was for 4 door but someone said it was for 2 door, not sure but if it is for a 4 door then ya you would have to do the same as above

so you have a coupe with the altezza grill? i have the altezza grill on my coupe with no fitment problems. if you are talking about the trim cover that attaches behind the grill, then no; your stock grill cover will not fit behind the altezza grill because there is a hump on it from where the 'H' used to be on your stock grill. you need to get the sedan version of the cover which is flat so it fits flush with your altezza grill. hope this helps.
