usually ebay is full of cheap imitations, but there doesn't seem to be any, I've looked; which is strange.

All ebay has is what appears to be a guy selling REAL ones (real on ebay!? ); they sell for around $180+ ...

There's a DIY somewhere on the net that shows how to make one from a 94-95 grill...

Other than that, there's a real one on ebay for $200!!!!!

You cant find htema nymore because Kingmotorsports is busting everyone who is selling Mugen "style" items. All of the Mugen style lips are just listed under lips now, no Mugen in item description or title.

There was a guy on here who got busted by ebay for listing his Mugen "style" muffler. Search for it, it was under GDD.

I have a fake Mugen style one. It fits fine but the real difference is that tehres no mounting point for the Mugen emblem and theres a top piece that connects the top. Just DIY a 94-95 grill.

Click here to see grills currently on eBay.

But like he said, stay away from eGay .. cheap as it comes.

VIS is kinda cheap stuff too, but much better IMO, esp. if you get it in c/f.

get a stock grill and make your own. looks good, sturdier, and way cheaper.

A DIY mugen grill isn't too hard, I did my in 3-4 hours total. I will have pictures of mine as soon as I get it painted. I just sprayed it black til my car goes to the body shop. Hope this helps.

Heres a DIY write up from accordtuner

give your vin number to a body shop, they should be able to match the color you have in a little bottle.... it shouldn't cost more than 30 dollars!
