i just got my mugen grille and an needing to get it installed.

is the hood trim supposed to get painted ? or does it come off nice w/ no odd looking marks ?

 

You should get the JDM hood trim to replace the TSX one.

 

http://www.boomplustoys.net/jdm_accord.shtml , you can find it there.

 

your hood won't look right w/ no trim at all, get it painted

 

The link i posted has them in the TSX colors already if you dont want to get it painted yourself.

 

I assume he's getting his Mugen grill painted however, so it'd be easy to do it at the same time. Plus those hood trims take forever to import, 6 weeks for mine.

 

From where? Blomplustoys?

 

yes back in the group buy early in the year. they might stock some on hand now though

 

they have the hood trim now in stock .. ~~ give them a call .. ~~

 

Is it easy to install Mugen Grill? Hm....

 

its not hard, just unfasten some clips, thats it

 

Oh cool, I think I am gonna go order one...Thanks xizor!~

 

thanx... i just ordered the hood trim...

 

EH71, where did you order the grill and hood trim? I guess they don't come in colour right?If I am going to bring them to a shop for paint, what colour code for PWP? I want them paint exactly the same colour as the body.

 

ooo shoulda done some more research. you can buy the painted hood trim from boom plus toys.

they give a small discount for board members and their customer service is excellent

 

your paint code is on your driver's side door sill. And take it to a shop you trust because matching the factory paint is very difficult.

 

HI people..greetings from UK! I am about to take delivery of an Honda Accord Type-S and have some questions.

I see in some pics that the Euro R does not have the Chrome hood trim or grill that we get here for the Honda Accord. I was just wondering if anyone had actually painted their chromed hood trim instead of buying a new one?

Anyway hope to be more useful on here after I get the Type-S :-)

 

Don't think but maybe a handful have painted the trim, most just order it from specialty shops already painted from the factory. Try www.boomplustoys.net
If you're interested in it, e-mail Morris, he'll help you out.

 

thanks for the reply...just got my hood trim and mugen from Boom plus yesterday installed today....only tood 1.5 hours since i was doing it carefull and those bottom clips are an a***! pics at

I zip tied the bottom because i didn't want the hassle of breaking the grille come the time when i sell it..plus i broke some of the clips taking them off lol.

Fitment of the grille is perfect for the UK Type-S and the radiator top peice required no mods at all apart from cutting a very small peice of plastic away to make it look nice, but it didn't have to be done to install the thing.

 

I just got my Mugen grill and I'm confused about what to paint.

Do I paint the entire outside (obviously not the grill part) the body color, or do I paint the lower outside body color and the top piece black? Sorry, the instructions are in japanese and I'm a little rusty.

 

I would recommend to paint the bottom piece the body color, and the top piece black. It'll look better.

 

Don't paint the top piece, it will look weird.
