that is a JDM grill and will not fit without JDM headlights and some cutting of the grill itself. it is a different actual size than USDM. if u want to keep your USDM headlights, you can modify a USDM grill by cutting the fins and adding mesh behind... search the board for the tutorials and numerous posts on the subject.

it won't even fit a USDM bumper well w/o gaps. JDM grills clip into the headlights and radiator support and need at least 1 new hole cut into metal to clip in, (unlike USDM grills which just clip into the radiator support) and are also shorter and narrower.

no like i went to lowes,home depot and advance and and nobody had that mesh.

lowes had some black plastic one that in a roll for like 3-4 buck and they had the metal one but it was 1 piece for like 10 dollars and it was no longer then the grill it self

Da problem is getting the grill is then you gonna have to get a jdm heads and bumper to fit nice and tight.Also how did you cut the fins off the grille ?
