Which grille is this? Is this the ProCivic one or an eBay one?

I saw that grill on AliExpress It looks decent enough to be honest. Not sure how the fit actually is.

Has anyone that's put one of these better flowing grills on actually experienced less heat soak in the motor?

I have the ebay grille but it looks like mine did not come with the emblem holder in the center. It just has a cutout for it with a holder and hole for a screw. Does anyone know the part number for the correct emblem holder? Is it this one?

has anyone done the rep j's racing one on the type r yet? and does it have the same amount of crazy fitment issues as the real deal?

So this is what I did.. Just is missing the badges, I already ordered FD2 badge, hopefully works.

I bought the Ebay grill and the Ebay aluminum mesh.

The fitment was crap!

Looks great, but I'm sure that they already have the Spoon style grill to save you the hassle for those who are not handy.

LOL the unevenness of that is a joke for nearly $500. You'd think they could at least straighten it out for the product pictures...

These aftermarket grills are filmsy as paper craft origami as far as I can tell, and my money is only for the OEM grill made in ABS.

I believe what Spoon has is actually an OEM grill with cutout and mesh backing, which is much durable with the best fitment.

The J's Racing is made from FRP and requires you to cut the center support on your bumper cover, which makes it the worst.

When I had the eBay grill I tried purchasing part number 71124-SNA-A00 since it was $15 on Amazon. It fit in the hole but there were gaps all over and popped off easily. I ended up returning it and just buying the Procivic grill.

The part number stamped on the holder for the procivic grill is 71121-TR3-A0-M1.

Still not 100% happy with the fit of the procivic grill.

1. It dug into my bumper and required some dremel work.

2. There are some visible gaps between the top of the grill and the bumper.

This is how it looks with the emblems , I’m not convinced with the type r emblem so I ordered the oem type r emblem .

Now with the OEM badges

Final update from me on the rep J's grill.

If you are going to run it, run an upper bumper cover. It helps smooth out the transition of the grill to the bumper and helps cover any gaps.
