Have any of you heard of/used Grillcraft products? They seem to have a nice looking grill for the R - not really how I feel about one but just want to get some feedback.
Also, does the Type R use the same size, model, etc battery as the regular Integra? I wasn't sure if they used a lighter, smaller one for weight purposes. Thanks!

 

I believe it is a smaller battery than the GSR model... it's not located in the same place for sure. As far as Grillcraft, they are the best OEM-fit grill kits I've ever seen and I used to have one on my 2001 Eclipse GT that I had before the R. It requires drilling to install (they're held in place with screws) but they are extremely sturdy and don't bend with rock impacts (although the paint will chip so I'd stick with getting silver).

But I wouldn't put one on a Type R since bling-bling show is not the car's purpose. Any show mod that I might do to the car would have to be able to bolt off and a Grillcraft kit is not that.

 

Thanks for the info kabob; I know what you mean about the grill - my car's totally stock, though I've strongly considered the driving lights that apparently are factory. I've always thought those grills look really nice on some cars ie Jag XKR, Bentley Turbo R, even the small coverings on the ZO6, but they are made for those cars from the factory. Looks a bit much as an add-on on a Honda; just some temporary whimsicals on my part!

Not sure about the battery either. Talked to a guy at the dealership who admittedly didn't sound like a Mensa candidate.......said it was the same as the other integras. I'm not so sure either - will need to investigate further.

 

Just remember that even the OEM foglights for Integras require drilling and I believe some harness splicing to install. And I think I can find some battery info for you in the factory service manual.
