96-97 face lifted CD5 grille.

Is there a mugen, or mugen copy style grille for the facelifted CD5's like in this pic

or can you just sand a paint over the original Chrome fascia grille?

Whats the go?

Any links to non chrome/mugen (or whoever makes it) grille info would be must appreciated.

Thanks.

you could easily paint over the chrome one with a bit of sanding.

you may want to get the 94/95 grill. Iit doesnt have chrome or the emblem, would be far easier to paint but its been done.
I put a 96/97 grill on my 94 because the chrome in my opinion looks alot better.

eBay US or Malaysia or Hong Kong is your friend. They have everything for our CD5 Accord. Mugen grill, SiR grill, DIY grill, 96-97 grill you name it.

If you black out your grill, you might also want to consider blacking out your window trims. I was planning to do that but I had other more important commitment. On a tight budget now lol.

Cheers.

yeh, try getting your hands on a 94 type R grill, should be straight bolt on

i have a standard 94 grill which i cut out

and it turned out like this!

Thanks guys...

I did a bit of searching on ebay US and they have the "Type R" style grille.

But thanks again Spoon-Accord

Will do the same as you, using the earlier grille... looks better than the Type R's on ebay... and cheaper

i replaced my 96 grill for a 94 grill not long ago. cost me 60 bux from wreckers in the same color so there was no need for a respray. heres how it turned out
