That's what i thought too, until i saw the euro-r grill on a CL9 (TSX). Apparently, the CL7 and the CL9 bumper are slightly different (don't know why...). I am very eager to convert my tsx into euro-r as well, but the grill always seem out of place on a TSXNoel said:The Euro R grill is an OEM product, fitment is perfect. Direct replacement item.
really?? that sounds interesting... i've personally seen one and i'm sure it doesn't fit right...there is approx 1 inch gap from the bumper to the bottom of the grill (the pointed part). I don't think installation can be performed incorrectly, since it is a straight swap, correct?Noel said:Not that I'm aware of, unless it's a installation that wasn't done "correctly". I've personally seen 3 identical Euro R grilles where I did the installation on 1 for the CL9s and they all lined-up and fitted perfectly.
From my experience I believe the NA bumper is different than the JDM CL7 or CL9. It could possibly be for US safety regulation, as most every NA Euro-R grill owner says it doesn't fit well, and even my Mugen one has a slight gap at the bottom.Noel said:Unless we have a different bumper ... :jester:
But yes, simple plug and play. Remove old, insert new. You don't even have to use all the clips. Securing the top clips are sufficient.
-the grill needed to be modified slightly to fit the usdm bumper, what i did was take of the honda molding around the grille and modiefied another molding around it to fit the bumper cutout better, also i needed to change the radiator support cover with the jdm cover so i could use the latch. The grille deff. needs to be modified to fir the oem bumber but since i own a bodyshop it was easy for me to locate a new aftremarket molding which i need to heat up to fit the contours of the grille, but it can be done.TSXDude said:Awesome ride Hondaeuror
I'm curious, how's the fitment of your euro-r grill? i can't really tell by the pictures, but it looks very good
Do you have closup-pics of the grill?? the one on cardomain are somewhat fuzzyHondaeuror said:-the grill needed to be modified slightly to fit the usdm bumper, what i did was take of the honda molding around the grille and modiefied another molding around it to fit the bumper cutout better, also i needed to change the radiator support cover with the jdm cover so i could use the latch.
