I am still in the process of "upgrading" my car. Anyway I wanted to change my grill, I was thinking of just making it all black but i think that the bumper and the grill are combined as one. I was basiclly wondering to all of my 01 ex owners out there, how did you change your grill. do you have to remove the bumper?

 

Yea the whoooole bumper has to come out... But its pretty easy to take out.

 

i would probably assume that you would have to take off the bumper still... i have and silver 00 ex and thats what i had to do. so im thinking that it would be the same for the next year up.... oh i kept my grill all black too if you want to take a looko at it... it looks pretty cool!

from 2000 to 2001 is a different generation, but probably fairly the same

 

damn, [:@]well i guess i should get started. I really like that grill that you put on. did you make it or was it bought and if so from where? I plan on getting that one with an emblem (dont know which one yet). Ill post up some pics soon. I just got a type r style lip in with an OEM cf hood but i dont plan on putting anything on until i get the grill.

 

the "grill" of the 01 ex bumper is actually a piece of plastic that is attached to the bumper, if you wanted to change anything, you would have to cut it off. i have taken my bumper off several times to position a neon inside of my bumper.

 

i got the grille from the import store in my town... it took a little time to get used to with it being all black, but i think it look awsome now! i wanna get a small CIVIC emblem to go on it though

 

i think it looks great helps break up the silver i love your wheels nice civic
