SI Grill And A Regular EK Grill
I want to get and oem SI grill on the car but I dont want to buy the whole thing i was wondering if i just can swap out the inside part like take out the regular insert of the grill and put in the mesh part of the SI grill

Re: SI Grill And A Regular EK Grill
Where are you getting the inside of the grille?
If you have a 99-00 civic then in whole they are swappable
Not sure if you can swap inside only.
96-98 wont fit.

The EX surround is a different size than the Si surround.
It's probably going to be cheaper to buy the entire thing used anyway. Just paint it when you get other parts painted.

Trust NOFX, the king of factory specs haha. But yea, I've tried swapping the mesh part from my old EX with an Si and ended up having to buy a Si grill anyways.

That's great. But they might not fit perfectly. It seems easy to get '96-'00 Civic front ends to fit wonky anyway.

'99-'00 Civic front end parts are for '99-'00 Civics.
The lip might fit, but it won't fit well. If you want that look, go with an aftermarket Type R Style one. That lip looks bad on that front end imo though.
