im trying to decide. i tryed to do the si diy grill on mine but with the 2000the way the center piece comes out leave 2 triangle holes on the sides and i hate it.so its either replace the backing piece or get an si grill in black. it bugs me i cant use my trim piece with the si backing.

they look like stock housings with aftermarket bulbs in them. though those blue corners will get u a ticket in most states

so do they not have mesh grills for 1998 ex's that look like an SI grill? cause i was thinking of putting an SI grill on my 98 ex but now that i read that the si grill doesn't look good then what are the alternatives?

wha i did is tried to do the diy si grill so i could keep my colored matched trim piece around the grill but when i cut the inside of the grill that has the H emblem and all it left 2 triangle holes. i have a 200 so the grills and headlights are different then the 96-98. and ebay has the mesh grill my friend has one on his civic for a while until he sold it. i would totaly buy a si grill for my ek if i didnt have to paint it, i just think itd be to much black and stand out so im probley just gonna buy a replacement back piece :((((( ill try t get a pic of it up tomorrow of how it looks now i kinda fixed it but its halfassed.

An Si grille is 99-00 only and won't fit on a 98 unless you swap the hood, fenders, bumper and headlights. They do make Si type grilles for 98s tho.
