Looks great Garlicdoc, I like how you left the surround and rings shiny, adds a nice contrast...when they're all black, it seems like the grille is missing.

Thanks for the feedback, wish it was plug and play to install the grill but required some modification as documented by others.
Debated at length as to whether or not go "blacked out" or chrome surround, decided the latter after seeing a stunning RS7 with the chrome surround


rs7

From my experience, SJPD are definitely more lenient to no front license plate. However, I got a no front plate ticket with my Civic PARKED along side of the street in SF.

Garlicdoc, looks really good! I love the contrast of the silver surround instead of all black. Good thing you got everything sorted out with the grill...

DIY here. A combo of using previous posts/info from Breedsas and Quattrings and this video of DIY B9 grill replacement got me through it without much trouble.
.
Likely will take the risk of no license for now.
