good work seems like you did it like a pro. But for some reason this kind of grill makes the front look "empty", like something is missing or something IMO

Thanks, the reason the front looks high is because of the angle I took the pic, I thought the same thing about the front being empty so I ordered some embles to put on

Good execution. I went another way on my grill mod, but think that I'll go to this look soon. Ditto on needing something in there to break up that space.

I like the look with no emblems. Then again that was the main reason I liked 99-00 Civic SI's, just the grille with no emblem. I might tackle this mod this coming weekend!!

I like the grill like this. But I don't think I could bring it to myself to cut up the bumper. There's no return after that..

i think ebay sells them already so you can just switch it out without cutting. not sure of quality and fitment though but seems legit

I was looking at the same thing on eBay but a buddy of mine told me there cheap and that the other way would be better and hold up longer, plus u don't have to spend over 200 for the mod I spent under 100 for this grill and the mesh grill is power coated so it dosent chip as easy as spray paint

I checked and it still requires cutting and removal of the cross bar. As for fit, it seems to fit perfect for the member that has it on this forum. He has a progress thread, username is Akrapovic I believe.

Indeed floating A is nice but I'm personally a sucker for the big empty space.
I like it on my SSM.

I love your mesh... mines puny and the aluminum seems to be fading to a bronze color [was originally black].

I think your grill looks better without them. Or if you can find an aspec badge.
