just little questions like

is it easy install?
is it a decent quality?

pics?

 

I've been eyeing this for a while and haven't pulled the trigger on it yet. I haven't seen a good close-up picture of it on a CGP TSX for me to make up my mind. I'm worried it would look cheap/ricey.

 

Wow that first picture is actually my car, to give you more perspective.




























Well you can see its clearly my picture, but thats not the point.

Its a decent fit and a decent look if you see the transition of how i change the hood trim and bottom grill.

Theres a slight gap at the bottom. But you need to drill holes. Zipties are what i used to hold it in.

The bottom mounting points are really important. Unfortunately I had my first car accident only a month later.

The grill sometimes has hard time fitting in on the side, so its hard to get flushed looks, and harder to drill cf. The grill shatterered when i rear eneded someone... wow to think this was 3 years ago.

I got it cheap from a forum member, and gave it a shot back then.

 

Your car looks worlds better nowadays, man.

I'm inclined to say that grille would look fairly subtle on a CGP due to the color similarities. But I'm not sure how into drilling/ziptying a part I really am. I tend to be of the "go authentic or go home" mentality in all regards for car parts.

 

Yea i agree I got the grill for only 50 bucks from a former member. Drilling wasn't bad I had a nice drill to use marked all the lines, measured and spaced them out like factory.

I could have used the factory clips but i got lazy to fit the clips in. So went zipties for all them except 2 bottom and top 2.
