i have the grill from an si (99-00) .. and the bottom clips wont stay in, what are ways you guys kept them in, because with mine, you notice the gap between the bumper and the bottom of the grill, and i notice every1 elses looks sooo nice hahah

lmk thanks

 

Correct me if im wrong. but arent the 99-00 grills different from 96-98?

 

they are different....
No one is using a 99-00 grille in a 96-98...theyre using aftermarket "ctr style"

 

well yeah, i figured you guys would know what im talking about .. so can any1 help me

 

Take a few pix or one and post it up here.. I would have to say that you can't fit a 99' civic grill in a 98 civic. It fits different...

The way that I did my grill swap was there were about 4 screws on the bottom of the stock grill that can't be put back once the other grille is swapped (mine is mugen). You have to just slid it into place and then pop in the 5 or 6 plastic screw snap-in's on top. It should hold?

 

for starters...youre using the wrong damn grille

 

yep. pdiggity obviously doesnt read posts before posting, i just said i figured you guys would know what i mean and i know the si is different and wouldnt fit on mine, but ke98240 thank you, yeah youre right, i have tried to put in the clips first, but it tends to be a bitch haaha .. but yeah thanks a lot i will do it again tomorrow, thanks a lot again

 

ummm..your title states that you have a 98 civic. 99-00 civic grills are longer...so it won't fit...not at all...

so maybe you need to fix the title or word your thread nicely...clearer...

 

yea what they said....si grill will not fit on a 96-98 grill...buy a "CTR Style" grill for like 20 bucks.

No, I did read it.
How the hell am I "supposed to know what you mean" if you say "99-00 si grill"?
Am I supposed to read your mind, and figure out that in fact youre using a ctr style grill?
If you use the right words, you wont have these problems

 

Most ebay pieces of crap will not fit right either. Go big or go home. Buy a real 97-spec CTR grill.
