I DO NOT OWN THE MUSIC
I have the same grille, I fixed the gap. It's not a flaw in the construction, what it is is that the little "tooth" or "clip" molded into the bumper gets folded down when you take the old grille out, so you have to start at one side and push the grille in while manipulating the part of the grille that goes into the hole on the bumper until it gets pushed all the way in, then use a trim tool or small flathead to push the "tooth" or "clip" into the slot on the grille so it fits right. It completely closed the gap for me, and I did this alone with no second person to help. A second person would have made it easier just for having more hands to hold/push things.
The 10th gen community on CivicX (including myself) has had a lot of issues with the fitment of the upper portion of all aftermarket and OEM grilles. The clips for that portion of the grill are very weak, and don't do well after removing the grille. Some have used small zip-ties to hold the clips together, and others (such as myself) have used high-strength glue. It's definitely easier to fix the problem before putting the bumper back on the car. Best of luck! I look forward to seeing how it all turns out.
Really appreciate the information thank you!
As someone else already mentioned the fitment at the top of the grille isn't because of the grille itself. It's the little tabs that are supposed to click into the bumper; they're very weak and don't actually snap in correctly. This is the reason I left my oem si one on. I did have to replace my gf's and same issue. What I did was had her push the grille in while i inserted a zip tie through the holes of the grille tab and bumper tab. This allowed it to keep it tight as if it had clipped in. It's been great so far and you can't tell. It sucks but that's just the way it is. As for the lower bumper mesh I'd recommend leaving it as is because if you cut it off, the bumper will sag in the middle. I did a bumper swap for my gf's car also and the old owner had it cut off and it sagged so we actually bought the oem honda lower bumper grille and it's back to normal. That part costs $100~$150 depending where you get it soooo might be something to consider
Appreciate the advice thanks!
I've been eyeing this grill piece (on amazon) for some time! Great video buddy! Your vids always cover what I've been looking into for the civic line
Thanks buddy!
@@ChrisLowpes really hope to see if you cleaned up that fitment because that is the one gripe I heard from many and is holding me back from pulling the trigger haha
How much was it going for on Amazon? I was gonna ordered mine off from Pro Civic.
Well done man, I just finished doing my side vents (trimmed the blacked out parts and just left the honeycomb look)
Nice!!
Did you ever figure out the fitment issue with the top clips of the grille?
I also have that gap at the the top of my grill too. It's small when I installed the bumper on the car. But it's kinda annoying to look at if you pay attention
Lol I have the exact same grill but it’s sitting at home :( can’t wait for the good weather up here in Quebec!
It’s almost time!
It's coming along very nicely I just bought the 2020 civic sport but I've been worried with the motor issues
Thanks! Yea just stay on top of maintaining the car and be careful with modding it!
Same issue with the fitment bro. Yeah i just ignored it at first it annoyed me though. Have had the same honeycomb grill for about 2 years its still in awesome condition besides the fitment on top.
Any idea if this fitment is worse or better than the one from Procivic ?
I was clueless about other people having fitment issues along the top of the grill. I assumed I pooched the clips and would just have to live with it. Zip ties huh?🤔 Thanks Lowpes
Seems to be a common issue, I’ll figure it out 😉
before or when you send the bumper to paint you should get a dremmel and open up the mesh on both side vents also
Yea that’s a good idea!
that looks hella clean!! also i heard it really helps with cooling on these cars.
i just got a 2020 si sedan and first mods i have done are prl pedal relocator and 2020 ctr shift knob. oohh i love the shift knob. today i just got d2 coilovers and oem sedan window visors, im going to install them very soon. i dont care about the ads so i went coilovers. can always go back if anything.
Those sound like some solid mods!
@@ChrisLowpes i installed the d2 coilover today. WOW 6 clicks from soft setting rides better then stock imo. it took me a long time to install by myself but i went slow.
Where did you get your 2020 garnesh I went to honda dealership and they said it is out of stock around Canada.
I bought mine from Honda before they got sold out
I have the same issue on my 2017 civic hatch about the fitment issue on grille. It’s a stock grille and planning to buy a aftermarket grille.
What did you do on your grille? Did u really use a ziptie?
I bought the same grill and had the gap as well, after about a week it annoyed me enough to take the bumper off again and glue it to the bumper to get rid of the gap
Yea I’ll either glue it or zip tie it down
Where did you bought this grill
When i check ebay it seems the emblem soppot is just a hole. .... confused how im gonna fix emblem
Can i find this grill in ebay ... when i check it in ebay , seems the honda emblem spot is just empty. Im wondering how i can fix empblem in those grills
If your gonna cut the mesh on bumper... do it on old bumper 1st... if it fucks it up with structure at speeds, at least you didnt do it on the one you just bought... also that tiny mesh really protects intercooler from rocks... no bullshit
Good advice thanks!
A lip should help keep the structure of the bumper rigid. You said your Type R lip was almost too rigid. Lol
Yves Blanco yea the lip is insanely tight 😂
How you keep the car so cleaned? I have corolla e170 2019 model in black colour. I cant keep it clean. When i clean, i get swell marks on it. Need your advise
Honestly it’s so hard, I have my car ceramic coated so it helps with keeping it clean
Can Car with coating can have swirl marks? Mine is glass coated and i can see swirl marks
I’m looking forward to buy your sticker. Will look cool in my car.
Thank you!!!
@@ChrisLowpes Chris! Any idea if its possible to install a 2019 Honda Accord Grill on a 2019 Honda civic ?? If so any recommended places ? (I'm in Atl)
I have the same problem the gap on the top
Did you put the red Honda emblem, is so, did you have to modify the template on the grill? Have this grill on my 10th gen hatch and I drilled new holes for the "type r emblem" but it doesn't seem to stick well. Thanks in advance!
I honestly used double sided tape and it’s been holding fine
I got the same grille, mine didn’t fit in the same place either
I took a flat blade to the little tabs on the painted part and pushed them under those black tabs and pushed the black tabs over the top. Its held up just fine. Unfortunately the bumper was off when I did it.
Does this bumper fit on the sedan EX 2016? if so where can i buy it?
I also have that gap. However mine is smaller then yours it’s almost not noticeable but looking closer it’s clearly not clipped in. It bugs me a little bit but it definitely looks better than oem
🔥🔥🔥
What's the difference between the one you had?
The one on the bumper off the car is the same but it was broken, the one on the car is completely different.
My factory own grill has that gap as well. I think the design of the clips used to hold it together are poorly made.
Totally agree
You selling the old grill
Not 100% sure yet, watch my Instagram if it’s up for sale you’ll see it!
suh dude
Braydin Inacio suh!
He knows it’s not a type-R, right?
