You will need the grille surround also. The stock surround is too thick for the si mesh.

mikwon

thanks for the quick response, Im tryin to get my hatch some what like the one you had, damn, gottamiss the hatch

You DO NOT need the si surround, I am rocking an si grill with a stock dx surround. Honda wants like 60 dollars for the si surround so why get one.

mikwon

Hmmmm....ok, one says it does, and one says it doesnt, ok so the molding WILL fit the oem grille backing piece, you did the same I did?, and used the dx molding, for the si, grille piece?

isotopesope

do you have a picture of that? i'm pleased i ordered the si grille and si bezel. i thought there would be a weird gap if i used the dx bezel.

mikwon

yeah, I just eyeballed it and it looked as if the frame AKA:molding, bezel, won't fit, the grille piece looks like it goes out beyond the molding, I had an Si that got jacked and now I have a DX, and this is just my observation.........PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!!!!!!!

isotopesope

i would get the si bezel in addition to the grille.

mikwon

damn it, theres got to be somebody with a third opinion?!!, n-e one.... the guy at majestichonda was'nt sure, or my boy at bryant honda in VA........its a fuggin mystery

mikwon

someone with intell??

Damn it, son. Just get the grille and try to fit it in the DX bezel. If you can't make it fit/mutilate the DX surround in the process, just order the SI surround.

We're not talking about an exhaust manifold or a distributor. Your car will run whether the grille looks cool or not. Patience will save you money

this is the best picture I have, the camera sucks I know.


My grill fit with no problem and no bending what so ever.

isotopesope

i didn't like how those ribs at the bottom of the grille were visible when i tried using my dx bezel. that's why i got the si one.

black2kcivic

It really dosent bother me, I personally like it more this way but to each his own.

Home Depot owns j00 and for only 3$ y0! lol

mikwon

Just got that **** in the mail today, yeah with black the ribs are straight, but my ride is voque silver here goes another $100.00 down the fuggin drain
Oh and for you **** asses 100.00 for a (bezel,molding), and painting, honda doesnt sell em prepainted oem silver, and if they do.... pass the knowledge!
Thanks for all the posts

I believe all mesh grills are black. and I don;t know why the bezel wouldn;t come painted seeing as the jdm ctr grill comes painted from optauto.com

isotopesope

yeah, they won't come painted silver from honda since the bezel is for the si, which didn't come in silver as i'm sure you know. in that picture of black2kcivic's grille it doesn't look too bad with those ribs visible. it looks sort of mean. grrr... maybe just try it on with the dx bezel and see if the ribs bother you too much. if so, you're going to have to fork out the dough...
