I have a '99 Prelude with the crisscross/honey comb grill. Ive noticed that others have a
civic style grill. Can someone explain to me why that is? Is it a diff year or what?

 

97 & 98 have the horizontal slats, 99-01 have the honey comb

 

Ah thanks, I kinda like the slit one better. Are they interchangeable?

 

Anyone? Anyone?

 

Yes they are and I'm sure you'll find plenty of people to trade with you (myself included). If you're interested in a swap please PM me.

 

Cool thank you, im still tryin to decide if I wanna just buy one and hold on to my original. I appreciate the replies

 

Mine originally had the honey comb grill, but it was rebuilt after an accident and the shop/owner put in the '97-'98 style grill instead. I like it better than honeycomb myself.

 

how dare you call it the "civic" grill. insta-ban

no grill FTW tho

 

LOL!

 

Preludes Eat Civics for lunch!!!!

 

before someone tries to pull a quick one on you, the "slice" style grille is only worth about $20 bucks. i know because i have 3 of them

the honey comb on the other hand, is worth about $70 to $100 depending on whether it has the emblem and condition and your overall urgency to sell.

so to you, i would recommend never doing a flat swap because when you regret it, it'll cost you more to get the honey comb back.

also in japan and europe and etc, some of the newer (99+) don't even come with the honey comb as it's a type-S option or something or other, i forget. and they have a gunmetal colored one worth about $200 to $300 dollars. sheesh, just for some paint?

 

lol dont listen to that guy ^^^ you should just trade me your honey comb for my 98 grill.

 

Wow! LOL thanks for the info on the grills! $20 huh? Wow, im sure I can find one online somewheres then

 

Heeeeere she be!

 

we've all seen it before believe it or not. are you still going to look for the slice one?

 

Haha, sorry im just still a little excited about my Prelude and also wanted to show that it was still in very good shape Yea, im definetly gonna keep my eyes peeled for a good deal, right now im getting ready to extract and replace one of the the 4 spark plug bolts that was broken into the valve cover when I bought the car and then strip and repaint the vc.
