[RBrackett]

it's only in preorder yet and im tempted to pick this up for the price for fitment and already comes in gloss black so not real need to paint, for the price i'm interested to see the fitment vs the ebay ones and quality.

It looks like the J's Racing FK8 front grill. I see a lot of those coming from China. Granted I wish I could answer your question regarding fitment, but even the J's has some fitment issues (imperfect, but typically good enough).

for me the price is tempting enough to give it a go and possible the hassle of a return if the fitment is beyond salvageable maybe ill order in the next few days

Interested to see how this turns out too, though to just to note on the specifications it says: "The 2019 civic need to change type R Conversion Bumper to install this Front Sports Grille." Not sure what that means, but something to keep in mind.

i saw that as well and looked into it. seems its for the 2019 civics (non-r) that need the CTR conversion bumper to fit this grill. this is the conversion they seem to be mentioning

The fact that one installed pics is of an actual J's grille is somewhat concerning.

At that price point, it might be worth it for someone to try it.

Fitment looks to be trash in the pic. Just another J's racing knock off.

IN FACT one of their product photos is a photoshop scrubbed version of the actual J's racing Grille promo photo.

Fuck this company.

out of curiosity, I get one to see the fitment, but, as soon as I get it, I saw the top side grill to bumper tabs were missing one. It is so obvious because the rest of the tab is the but in the middle its missing. Will follow up to see if they can replace it for me, but the build quality isn't looking great.

I was curious about this front grille but I saw a video on an fk8 they posted... But the rest of this thread makes it seem sus

It doesn't look like the worst front grille

Just showing out the fitment, Pretty great. I will say this is very close or even same as OEM Fitment.

However, compare to J's, the American Modified one is like half short pass the opening which give it kind of odd appearence.

Function wise, I don't believe either J's or Ebay or this have a different performance. It opens much more airflow then OEW and that's all.

Do you really need to remove the vertical beam? I thought the whole point of making this lookalike in half the depth of the J’s racing is for the ease of installation without changing anything?

Did you actually keep this grille on the car? Any more pics?
