I posted this over in the civic forum, but thought I'd post it here since it does apply to the accords as well.......

I won an auction for a Mugen grill (replica). It looks like I will not be getting it since the guy has tooooooooooo much going on! GO ===> HERE to see what I mean!!

Anyhow, I found this grill here:

The seller is not near as busy as the one mentioned above and has plenty of positive feedback with no negatives ==> HERE

I went through his feedback checking the auctions to see how many grills he has sold for the 96-98 Civic. There were about 10 that I found. I e-mailed all the winners with this generic e-mail:

Hi, I saw that you won an auction for the Type R grill. I think it
looks sweet and just wondering how you like it? Was it an exact fit? Is
it pretty goos quality or cheaply made? Is this something the guy makes
or is it something he just gets from a place and sells? Have any pics
of it on your ride? Thanks a lot!

I have a 98 Civic LX and looking to change out the stock top grill.

Most of the grills these people won were this grill here:

I am more interested in the top one, but would settle for either!

If any of you are interested in one of the grills above post here! If enough of us are interested I will e-mail the guy and see what he can do for a group of us. I'm thinking $50-55 for the grill shipped!!! Maybe he'll give us a better price if enough of us go in.

I just sent the e-mails out to the people tonight so I'll keep you all posted with their replies.

Also, the guy has the grills for the 99-00 and 01+ Civic. As well as the 94-97 Accords and 98+

So, it doesn't have to be just civic owners getting in on this.

FIRST REPLY:
hey, great item!! it wasn't cheaply made...Only thing is that you have
to get it painted ...but that is about it...most definately worth it..

I sent the seller an e-mail that is posted below. He just responded which is below my e-mail. I immediatly wrote him back and will add his reply once I get one. Are you guys using Paypal? You can read the e-mails below and see why I ask.

E-mail I sent to the seller:

Hi, I am wondering if you would consider a GROUP BUY for the grills? I
am a member of a Honda forum and I was asking if anyone would be
interested in the Type R (replica) grills. I posted this last night and
already have 4 people who are seriously interested. I imagine within a few
days there will be close to 10 or maybe even more that will want one.
Let me know if you are interested in going through with this and what
kind of prices you could give the group of us.

Thanks a lot,

Jonathan

And to make it secure I could round up the $$ from them with paypal
then send it all over to you at one time or I could send you a check. It
doesn't matter. Let us know! Thanks again!!

So far it seems to be 3 96-98 civic owners and 1 94-97 Accord owner.

E-mail response from the seller:

Hello,
Sure I can do the group buy, but would you like me to ship all of them
directly to you and you can ship them out to the individual customers
or
just ship them direct. As for price it is negotiable so let me know,
just
to let you know the accord grills are little bit more about $5 and they
come
with silver aluminum mesh except the 96-98 accords which come with a
black
aluminum mesh.
Thanks

My response to the sellers e-mail:

Hey Mitch,
Thanks for the quick response!! I would like for you
to ship them out seperately. I was saying that I
would gather up the $$ and make one large payment so
we don't have anyone backing out or not sending you
the $$. I'll let the guys know about the Accord
grills costing $5 more. I know that will be fine with
them though. I will also let them know that the 94-97
Accords are the silver aluminum mesh. For the 96-98
civic would it be possible for use to get the black
larger mesh that you have in the auctions now? Is the
mesh (for the 96-98 civic) plastic or aluminum just
painted black? I saw you have both the silver and
black for the civic, but everyone is interested in the
black so far.

I know there is one guy who is in Canada and wanted me
to ask you about shipping out of the U.S. and there is
another guy from Canada that is really interested and
I think will join if you ship to Canada.

What do you think would be a fair price w/ shipping?

I will give it until Sunday night and then contact you
Monday morning and let you know how many participants
there will be and send the money over that day! Do you
accept paypal?

Let me know so I can relay it back to the forum.

Thanks a lot!!

Jonathan

E-mail response from the seller w/ prices:

Hello,
I currently have 4 grills available. 94-97 accords, 98-00 accord
coupes,
96-98 civics, and 99-00 civics. All come with the smaller silver
aluminum
mesh except for the 96-98 civics which come with the larger mesh which
is
painted black aluminum, just as pictured in my auctions. As for the
price
how does $50 for the civics and $55 for the accord grills sound? We
ship
UPS and only to physical address. As for paypal I would not be able to
accept this because each grill will have to be shipped to different
addresses, so I would need a money order or cashier's chekc
thanks

Here is a pic of the grill installed.

The e-mail:

You will notice that it is a dull black plastic, I did not paint it
yet. I am thinking of painting everything black "including mesh". You
will need to be experienced in installing after market car parts, and
understand that everything does not fit the same way that factory parts
do. I think that this grill looks a
lot better than what I had, my factory one was starting to fade in the
black area.

 

[boydrifter]

I want in for the accord grill. I can't do paypal though

 

[LX98Civic]

Ok, the guy also accepts money orders. Can you do that?

I'll put you on the list, ok?

 

[boydrifter]

That's cool! Everyone is for their self anyhow

Hopefully we can get over 10 just in case 1 or 2 back out

I don't think we'll have that problem though since everyone seems REALLY interested

 

[pnc/Rcer]

Hey, I want in. 96 Accord coupe. Money order sounds good to me. Just let me know where to send it.
Thanks.

Cool! I haven't got the info as to where send the payment since there is not 10 of us yet.
If we are not up to 10 by Sunday I am going to just write the guy and see what he can do for the 6 or however many of us there are....

WTF? Man, you better get in on this deal now

Go whore in OT

 

[9accord6]

hey are custom grills legal...im getting this feeling lately that its illegal to change anything on you car...

Your mods and your asking if a custom grill is illegal

96 Accord LX 4cyl. black
AEM CAI
altezzas, indiglo gauges,
blue corners, naxos blue bulbs,
blue door lights, blue dome light,
Jensen MP5010K MP3/CD, alarm,
rims in backorder


Blue corners will get you a ticket 1,000,000X faster than a custom grill I promise

 

[9accord6]

im asking cuz i got 3 fix it tickets for all my lights....sux

I was jut messing with you anyhow. Cops would not know the difference and would not even think to look for a modified grill. If you had it painted a totally different color or had strobes in it, then they may would say something. But, I still doubt it would be about the grill.

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just e-mailed the seller asking for the mailing and paypal info to make payments. There are 8 of us in so far and I kind of just cheated

I went to some of his recent auctions that ended and e-mailed about 5 ebayers telling them about what is going on

I imagine they will be getting in on this since some of them were bidding $55 and $56 + the $8 shipping

And I also told them about this cool a$$ site called SHO

I'll keep you guys posted with the payment info as well as if the others get in or not.

I'm thinking we can have this done and ready by tommorrow evening. I will be paying by paypal so he can hopefully ship it out Monday if everything goes as planned
