Default New grill installed w/pics

This is an aftermarket grill I picked up in Japan from a company called New's

No how-to on this one, as you simply remove 5 nuts and pop out the OEM grill, then install the new grill (and yes, the car needs a wash, just want to wait a few days to make sure the painted parts are good)

More than it's worth....the seller only ships to Japan, and they don't take credit cards....long story short, it was paid with a local wire transfer, then shipped to Tokyo, then shipped to U.S., so with the excessive shipping charges, wire transfer fee, and exchange rate, I paid about $550 for it.

The ironic part, I ordered the grill for a 1st Gen RX (they make the same style), but they messed up and made this one....it has been in my garage for about 2 years collecting dust.....but I finally got to use it!

At least it will be unique...I doubt there is another one here in the states.

That looks awesome. I have been thinking of replacing my grill and I think this may have been the push I needed.
