TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK, I'm not liable for anything you messup, i took a chance doing it myself.
Ok here it is

Start by getting all the supplies you need ready.
1. Aluminum Gutter Guard (5.99 for 6 pieces of it from Home Depot
2. A small bladed saw
3. Black Marker
4. Wire Cutters
5. Sand Paper (to sand what you cut off the grill)


Take off the back part of the grill and get your saw out, cut the bars connecting from the border of the back piece to the middle around where the H logo is. You can sand it down a little when your done cutting if you want.


Take a black marker and holding the mesh up sorta eye where you think is enough height and length and beging snipping away with the tin snips. Once that is done put the mesh on the back, get a pair of wire cutters or small wire cutters and cut where you may need to, the mesh tends to block the screw holes and the little clips from the front, only cut enough so you can wrap it around the edge of the screw hole for more support, thats what i did


also make sure you cut the middle of the bottom part a little wider in the middle

Here's Completed Product (ignore the engine, its a dx till i get my vtec head)


any questions you got you can get me on aim - mdsilage

I ended up having 2 now, one from last summer and just one recently, 1 with the emblem epoxied on top, 1 without so i can interchange. GJ on the writeup. Another thing I wanna add is when you cut and assemble, figure out what side of the mesh looks better, since it comes kind of concave one one side and convex on the other.

It looks like a good project for me as a noob. I am going to give it a try . How would you do the bottom part of the grill?

Nice and clean install, Thats a good write up too. :thumbup:

EddieK

can you please teach me how to take off the grille??? there are circle things that hold it together? know wut im talking about? hmm.... is it okay to just cut them off? or how will it all go back together?

msilage

take a flathead screwdriver and just pop the middle part of the clips out, if you cut them off you won't get it back on, there might be 2 screws on the bottom of the grille holding it to your bumper also.

yea good call too bruce

96greencivic - i tried a few different methods for the bottom grille but the gutter guard was the right length but not enough height to my liking(and also didn't want the edges of the grille to scratch my paint up) so i went to Grille-Tech.com and bought the lower grille piece, when i get home today i'll take some pics and post them up. If you decide you like the Grille-Tech.com grille i suggest going on ebay and buying it, much cheaper than if you order it directly from them and also difference is order from the site it could take 1-3 weeks, i recieved mine(i got it on ebay!) in like 4 days.
