Does anyone know where I can get a type R grill for a 97 accord?I spoke with the store where I usually buy all of my stuff. They can't get one from anywhere. In addition to that, I called several distributors and they say that they're all on backorder.

how about some custom made one. just $1 from home depot. take out the actual grill, take the chrome part out ( it's held with some screws) cut the chicken wire to match the shape of the chrome moulding, make room for the screws, then put it back toghether.

just find ya a 94-95 grill and make one yourself. I've seen this done, seems fairly easy and is sturdier than the ones you can buy. Just my opinion.

My grill is chrome and personally, I feel without the mesh in there that my kit doesn't look as good as it should. I think the additional mesh would offset it nicely. What if I want the grill the color of the car? I'll paint the chrome. No. I really won't. Some of my nail polish? Just kidding.

you can paint the chicken wire any color you want. make sure you clean it good thou. and please don't use nail polish

My car is that weird two-toned green. I don't have any nail polish that color. I was just busting on myself because I wanted to use clear nail polish on my taillights. No one replied to my first post yesterday and I thought it was maybe because I was talking about nail polish.
