how hard is it to mod the grill to make it fit on a usdm and another thing the people said they can paint it for 50$ should i go the oem color or black, im going to paint my headlights and get a cf hood so do you think it would look better black or oem as for the color of my car its the tan color if anyone knows what color it really is that would be great i would go look at the vin and tell you but my car is about 700 miles away maybe someone can photoshop it for me with cf hood and black grill and then the oem color and cf hood

i dont think you'll be happy with the grill seein as u wil have about a .5-1 inch gap on both sides but u can make it happen (im sure theres a way, but i wouldnt know it because i also had jdm headlights installed, and btw the grill clips to the headlights)

if your going to keep your USDM headlights, it would look better to just mod you USDM grill by cutting out the vertical bars and installing daimond mesh. the JDM grill is narrower than the USDM grill and you will have gaps if you install it w/o swapping the headlights to JDM too. here is a pic of DANGER DANJ's beige galant w/ black USDM headlights and black modded USDM grill and CF evo hood:

GALANTV600, i hope you don't mind me borrowing your pic for comparison but i needed a USDM G next to my JDM front end w/ USDM bumper to show the difference in widths, and your pic had the perfect angle:
