IMO, it loks cleaner this way.
I agree. Losing that "nose" of the OEM grill kind of streamlines the look for me. But I did it for cooling purposes, the aesthetics is a bonus.

So the stock ctr red emblem fits the grill? I ordered the same eBay grill.

Agreed. Makes sense both aesthetically and functionally.

Next mod on my list. After seeing all this heat soak and such and such I’m just trying to make sure the cars temps are on the cooler side rather than the opposite.

Washed all the bugs off after the drive to Thunderhill and back. Feel like a little bug Hitler here.

Yes and no. The space for the emblem is a "tad" bigger than the OEM CTR emblem and the teeth that stick into the holes are in a different location. I just drilled new holes for the emblem to fit into, but honestly you don't even need the teeth to help secure it. There's enough adhesive on the emblem to hold it in place.

Added the infamous “eBay” grill that allows more air to hit the radiator. I added a OEM CTR red H emblem to the grill, but chose to leave off the “Type R” emblem that’s embedded in our OEM grill.

I know it’s probably been said but does the 4 door grill fit the 5 door hatch’s just fine? Need to do this myself

Yellow fog light, window visor/rain deflector. It is not JDM but it is a compromise.
