I need a 99-00 front grill and I am having some trouble finding one. I am only able to find the cheap $30 ones I would like one with no H logo and be able to paint it to match my car color (so no carbon fiber) could someone help me out? Also I dont want the weird metal mesh grill I think that looks lame, like chicken wire or something.

I found one on craigslist for $80 but there is no picture and he says "even includes H logo" so I dont think its the one im looking for.

EDIT: Thanks for the link man that price is not bad at all! And it has no H =P

Hey I was wondering how come the type-r grill on password JDM is so much? I mean isnt it over $200?

98civdx

cause its type r.

cant see the top one but i have the bottom in mine now.

deffinetely go OEM badgeless, alot of people mistake it as an only SI/CTR part but it was optional in 99-00 just like the front and rear lips (although the front lip was standard on the Si) Many times you see Si's with the normal badged grill up front. It's worth the money to get a real deal one too, i've seen the ones from ebay and they fit terrible, it's not worth the gamble.

98civdx

^^ true, but i got a ebay one and it would be great fit but the holes for the clips are a bit to big.

farkiller

Is it showing up now?

98civdx

actully that doesnt look to bad, but i still would go badgeless.

farkiller

So it that one he posted in the ebay link OEM real deal?

forcefedferio

it looks similar, correct me if i'm wrong but your midori hatch still has the 96-98 front on it correct? if this is the case you will have to go with a knockoff grill because a genuine honda one will only fit the 99-00 front end. You can make a knockoff grill fit good if it doesn't already, it may just need a little bit of extra modifying, and some patience. But either way i'd go badgeless.

farkiller

Nope everything is 99-00 I only need a hood and grill to finish my conversion.

forcefedferio

i only have a few decent pictures, i actually had a knockoff grill that i made fit pretty good. just took a bit of trimming.



and a bonus one, little pigster tryna catch me ridin dirty haha

The real deal oem Si grill is the way to go, for sure. Btw, the link posted earlier in the thread for the grill for $80, was the grill only, surround not included. Real complete grill are worth a few bucks

farkiller

Surround? Ugh so there is more than one piece for the 99-00 grill? My 96-98 grill is one piece, do you have a link to a COMPLETE real deal OEM si grill? This is so difficult!

forcefedferio

yes, the mesh seperates from the outer trim. Your best bet is to pony up the cash and get one from PWJDM, i believe they are $189 but atleast you know it's going to fit perfect and be exactly what you want.

Deetz

this is the oem diagram....as you can see, the grill #1, is the grill only, you also need the surround molding

farkiller

But I know there are other options than Password JDM and much cheaper too, I mean PWJDM cant be the ONLY place to buy an OEM si grill, I mean come on!

forcefedferio

you're right it isn't, but if you know there are cheaper places then why are you asking? I like dealing with password because i trust them and have done business with them many times over the years. I've been ripped off a few times with other places (eh hem jdmcarboy.com) and i'd rather spend a couple extra bucks as more of an insurance thing than anything.

P.S. they are $200 from inlinefour.com, but they are also brand new. it might be more worth it to pay an extra $10 and get a brand new one, rather than $189 used.

farkiller

I think im gonna go with the $80 one on craigslist I emailed him and asked about the condition, color and style. Im gonna see what he says. I personally think paying over $200 for a small piece of plastic is a bit much.
