lining up front bumper and grill
I just ordered some new mounting pins so I can line up my bumper and grill a little better. Its not that bad but the hood, grill, and bumper are a little out of whack. The grill I have is a cheep JDM style ebay one. That might be the issue. Also my hood and fenders line up perfect so I know its not the hood. Any advide would be appreciated.

Would like it to look more like this:

Buy an OEM grill. IMO the lower is OEM.
Those piece of **** ebay ones never line up right.
I have one, it doesn't even come close to fitting right.

Thanks man, I found this one for 199.00 http://www.icbmotorsport.com/jdmciek9tyrf3.html
Do you know of any cheeper than this. Maybe I should just look for a SI one from a junk yard?
I took the bumper and grill off and lined them up a little better. The new bumper clips helped allot.

You "may" be able to find a SI grill cheeper, however, good luck finding one in the junk yard. lol
Your's lines up 100 times better then mine, there is a huge gap between the buttom and the bumper. They are about 2'' away from each other.
ICB is good people, I have always bought from them and will continue to do so.
and get a lip!

OEM lips definitely do fit better. aftermarket never do line up correctly.
I'm not a huge fan of lips, I have better things to spend $100-200 on, but a cheapo just usually looks like garbage.
