I can't decide between which front grille to buy.
There is the original Euro R grille
http://www.polepositionproducts.com/jdmhonda/images/cl7-frontgrill.jpg
for Aud $314 shipped
or the Mugen replica
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7961016441&category=33645&sspagename=WDVW
for abt Aud$120 shipped.

which is more worth it? which is nicer??

I'd get Mugen if you have bodykit.

If not Euro R grill is not bad...but too similar to stock ones.

Bodykit is being planned somewhere along the lines..
and i don't see paying $300 for something that looks similar.
i'm tending towards the Mugen replica. but just wanted some opinions!

Yeah the Mugen replica is a good price but then u have to paint it, & then find the JDM Mugen badge which aint easy to find... If u can be assed doing it then the mugen Replica is good value..

If ur thinking about putting a bodykit in the future be aware that some full bodykits the front grille and the front bumper are one...

I personally like the JDM grille, the honeycombe effect is nice :)

I don't like mesh much ie. Mugen :)

The gap in the Mugen one is to enable u to open the bonnet??

i think thats for the cold air to go in ... coz thats where the mugen intake sucks air in ...

there is a little drop down gap where the hood opener is, but my concern is the full width gap.

If its for the mugen air intake that makes alot of sense

mugen grille looks good IMO....looks mean....
JDM euro R grille also looks good but regular pple cant tell from far away that its a JDM euro R grille (unless ur a euro fanatic)

i;d get the mugen grille....looks good with the OEM kit too

Whatever the deal is there's a gap there hehehhe.. I have it on my mugen grille as as well thought it was because it was a replica so it wasn't built to spec :rolleyes:

Finding the mugen badge for the grille aint easy as well.. No one in oz sells em u have to get them from overseas.. Hopefully nobody flogs mine coz it will be a pain to replace...

Nick it would give way too much hp... overload..........

IMO, if ur planning to put on the AUSDM OEM lip kit, go Mugen grille. If u plan on putting on the JDM OEM (EuroR), both the euroR or Mugen grille would look good.

Save up for the Phase front bar....***drools***

Gets rid of the nasty grill altogether.

my favourite front bumper too.. i've been askin roudn the tsx forums about it too... apparently only some japanese retailers would have some left-overs as they aren't being manafactured anymore it really sucks... if a second hand one becomes available that'd be cool.. itd be the same price if not more than the mugent front bar tho from what i've read. but yea its a mad front bar... anyone know if a replica is a available? coz that would be cool :o

i prefer the mugen front bar than the phase
but phase is nice also. a close 2nd in my books :D

that phase one looks like an early evo style front bar.

MUGEN all the way
