I have a 2017 and want to install the larger 2020 OEM grill. Based on a CivicX post I read the 2020 winglets/brows that go over the headlights are needed to match with the grill, but someone on IG that installed it says the winglets are not necessary. I am just looking for clarification from anyone who has installed the 2020 grill on older models.

Grill: 71121-TGH-A51

Thanks.

Hi there,

I have a 2020 fk8 (comes w/ new grille), you do not need eyebrows.

I will tell you this though, I broke my Red H emblem front grille on the freeway I think and I ordered a new one....it finally arrived....I messed up and ordered the 2017-2019 red H emblem that DOES NOT FIT on the new 2020-2021 FK8 grilles!

Make sure you purchase the rear Red H emblem to avoid having to spend more like I did.....the correct size REAR Red H emblem arrives Saturday or Monday for me....ugh removing that emblem i don't want to do.

Rear H Emblem: 75701-TGH-A01



good luck sir!

Wait, are you confirming that the 2020 grill will fit with the 2017-19 eye brows? Have you successfully fit a 2017-19 grill on your 2020 with the 2020 eye brows or 2017-19 eye brows with your 2020 grill (either would confirm that they are modular with each other)?

Yes, I can confirm that 2017 to 2019 eyebrows will fit with 2020 grill per this video:

My 2020 FK8 came with the new grill already...once again key thing...if you upgrade to 2020 grill you need to buy the rear emblem to fit...75701-TGH-A01

The smaller front emblem has been known about for some time actually.

Damn, dealership won't let you return it?
I bought it from hondapartsguys.com, I believe out of Fontana,CA and they want to charge a 20% restocking fee and I have to pay the reshipping fee...probably have way better lucky selling at car meet for $50 and lose out on 16$.

Oof, yeah, that's true.
