if u want to try, maybe do what i did, buy a used oem grill for the JDM GE8 from yahoo auctions japan. used can be as cheap as $30 + shipping rite now. better than dealing out $300+ for a wall ornament.

Thanks I will try that.

You have a 2012+ GE8, right?


If so you should be looking at the JDM Fit Shuttle, grills... those are the ones that fit the USDM GE8's whose grill goes headlight to headlight.
The earlier ones (09-11) had a smaller grill... which I have a feeling would work, but you'd have to change out the bumper cover too.


I believe that's how it goes...

I decided to pass on the bless front lower half. Too much money to have it imported here. I don't mind shedding the $500 but the shipping kills it for me.

Was trying to avoid removing the bumper and get the upside down clip removed, but the damn cold weather made it too brittle and i broke it. meh. luckily my neighbor decided to hang and helped me take off the bumper.

sorry no install pics.

yes, u set domestic mail and ship it to yourself with your tenso address. tenso will then email you, or u can stalk their website, to let u know the package has arrived. you'll see the shipping price and just pay. then ull get tracking via EMS and in 3-5 days it will be at your doorstep.

Woke up early to get my lips on and got a wash. These things complete it. I'm so glad I went with the modulo lips rather than the Mugen lip. Thanks BMW_Alpina!

Question for you long time buyer on Rakuten, are majority of the items on the site NEW? I'm just getting myself familiar with different site to buy items straight from Japan and most I've been on are either bid or buy it now and have both new and used.
