Did I receive the wrong year grill for my '04?

usually euroR grilles have gaps on usdm bumpers and yours seems to be wider than average. did you try fitting them correctly?

JDM bumper has a slightly different grill cut-out than USDM bumper.
so JDM grill doesn't quite fit on the 2004-2005 TSX.

Did I try fitting them correctly?


Of course I have tried to install it correctly, but when I have the grill where it should be all the mounting holes on the grill are about a half a hole or more off from the ones on the bumper.

I understand there was a small difference, but I didn't think that it was this bad.

it kinda looks like 06 dimensions.... is it a genuine honda part? or was it ebay?

good question....

I checked the color matched trim piece part number and it matches the part number for cl-7.

71122-SEA-901ZD.

I know the color isn't right, but it was painted to match.

its not going to fit perfectly. the holes arent going to line up too well. i just used zip ties for mine. but the bottom all you need is to slide it into the clips on the bumper.

Zipties are far from professional IMO... I just forced it into place and used the clips...

Well I gave into zip ties. Not really the way I wanted it to be in there, but I guess it will do for the time being.

My friend has one and I had one. YOu have to take off your bumper and push REALLY hard to get it right in there!

are you suppose to to snap the center point down.. im having the same problem and i tried using zipties but i still have the gap.. any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just put the euro R grille and yes I do have a gap, any solutions for this ?

ILoveMyHonda

Yeah the fitment isn't 100%.

You have to push down on the center "V" until it snaps into place. It will come out looking like the OP's car.

I then just enlarged the holes slightly for the upper mounts then used zip-ties for behind the EuroR grill.

Good luck!

You might want to try taking the grill out and possibly take off part of the bumper to get those clips under the grill in firmly.

Its still will be a gap but it be better than what your showing

Where did you purchase it from? was it from a vendor or private sale?

97lsvtec

I bought it from a vendor, but with the customer service I received from that company I will not direct people to buy from them.

^ i was wondering why it wouldnt fit in correctly!!!!!

97lsvtec

it doesn't fit correctly because the jdm bumper is slightly different than the usdm bumper.
