So I totally just did this whole thing, not knowing someone else had. Good job on making good with the grille..
Did you have any fitment issue at the top of the eBay grille? Any pictures?

You weren't able to try the zip tie trick that the person on the first page mentioned? You try pushing the grill in so that tabs go in the slots, then insert a zip tie through the tab holes so that the tabs can't move back outward through the slots.

@ApexEight

I have seen the zip tie thing. Thanks. I'm just planning on when to do it. I have to say I hate taking my bumper off on these model Civics. Everything is soooooo fragile.
Ill be doing mine next week for the first time. What do you mean by fragile? What to watch out for
