[Dy_]

I'm under the impression for a facelift model i cant make the mesh grill? is this correct? I did it to my car and it was easy, no problems but its a prefacelift.

Anyone know?

Hey man, the face lifted grill is a single piece, you cant modify it to make it like the mesh grill unfortunatly. The only way is to buy a facelifted mesh grill.

its possible. i've seen it done;)

True? I know it can be done with some cars like the ej8 and such.
All i know is with my 99 ek1 hatch, you cant actually unscrew the centre piece and replace it with mesh unfortunatly. Its a solid piece.

There was a thread about this topic, let me see if i can find it.

Working out how your going to stick the mesh onto the grill is the hard part.

im 100000000% sure i didnt saw anything off. There were some screws that screwed it to the grille. I just undid the screws.

what happened to the black part where the honda badge is?

did you just put mesh right over it?

you have to cut it out with a dremel tool.

Yep, some cars you can unscrew the centre bit, some you need to cut that bit out.

[honda_ek4]

yeh you can unscrew the ej8 and facelifted ones but the pre-facelifted ones you can, but still wouldn't you need to saw the part where the honda badge is or do you guys just mesh right over it?

ahah thats a photo of my grille! i cut mine out with a pocket knife.

ok so to confirm..its possible to do the facelift models, but involves sawing out the middle part?

[honda_ek4]

nah i don't think u need to saw anything for the facelifted grills.
just unscrewing it off
then meshing it
