If it's possible, you might wanna stick the cover on now indoors... Honda recommends installing those in temps at least 65F for several days.


I gotta install my interior goodies.

 

only if i can fit it inside my garage. its so full of crap right now. only thing that needs temp is the 3m tape, but the whole thing is attached by clips. ill do it tomorrow maybe or ill just wait until the other "part" gets here.

 

OK thanks for your answer and please don't forget to upload the pictures, i'm really interested to install it in my FIT

Luis

 

Yeah... the tape needs the temps.

 

Just got a quote for Bless front half.

Item cost $449.84 (not too bad right?)
Shipping Ocean Freight $550 (more than the lip itself!) 6-8 weeks to arrive in CA
Or by TNT Air $880 (really?) 1-2 weeks

Pass.

 

I'm sure the shipping includes the customs fee, insurance and I think there's an export fee out of Japan.

 

On Tenso did you submit a drivers license for proof?

 

yeah a long time ago. they just finally confirmed my id verification too.

 

where u get that quote from? i bet its autostyle. they are the only who label shipping as u do. just fyi, their "american" prices are much more than the prices they list for Japan. just check out their prices on rakuten.

tenso would give a price quote, however, they need exact dimensions and weight. good luck getting that info from the vendor or manufacturer.

p.s. bless front lip is unpainted

 

Yeah, it looks like autostyle...




It only took 24-36hrs to get my ID (drivers license) verified from rakuten... that policy just started a few months ago.

 

Yup, it's from that site. I've browsed ratuken before but still very unfamiliar with the process to purchase. I will have to look into it. The prices there are more appealing but I guess shipping is where it will make or break the deal.

 

let us know if we can help.

there are other sites to shop from too. rakuten has a big selection, however not all vendors would accept credit cards or paypal. the vendors there just use rakuten as a portal and they handle the transactions themselves. so lots of different payment policies.

amazon.jp is a little different. same vendors, but amazon handles all the payment transactions. i was able to use my credit card with a vendor who would not accept foreign credit cards on rakuten.

both ship to tenso. my only qualm was being unable to use the tenso coupon with amazon. oh well, i suppose on big shipping purchases the discount is negligible. even though tenso says its 50% off there is a limit like only upto 5000-6000 yen and u pay the rest.

 

whooop! welcome to the mugen front grill club

 

U think i can get away with just 3m tape instead of drilling?

 

I'm not too sure, it doesn't seem too sturdy without drilling into the bumper. I think the holes would be covered up with the OEM grille though, but I didn't check before I put the Mugen on.

 

Illcheck it out tomorrow. I think i can drill without removing the bumper.

 

You should be able to, the templates provided make it pretty straightforward. Only thing is getting to the clips on the bottom of the grille. My only complaint about the Mugen grill is the fact that the front silver piece is only attached with tape. It'd be nice if they molded in clips / screws to keep it a bit more secure. Either way, be sure to post up pics when it's all done!

 

Got my verification e-mail today been looking, does any one know if this grille will fit our cars?



or this

 

no doubt. i'll try to get them on tomorrow AM.

 

sorry they won't fit. the bottom area of our bumper is flatter compared the the JDM GE8. no way to attach em. and the clips don't match either. i think those are 6 clips? but who knows if they will fit or not.

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.
