NBP Grille on RR SI?

Ok si I was debating on how this would look and I wanted to opinions. I am not crazy about the red grille on my RR SI. I was thinking about ordering a NBP SI grille and installing that. I love the look of SOLO's Mugen grille in his si but I don't wanna pay $500 for a grille. I was thinking the NBP on with red JDM emblems might look hot? Opinions?

I prefer the look of the black grille over the body colored grille. It would look similar to the non-SI coupes, if i get the chance I'll photoshop an SI with a black grille and the red honda logo.

Non-SI black grille...

Like he said, a black grill would probably look cool but too much like an FG1. Silver might look cool but I don't know, I'd have to see it. Judging by your picture it looks like you have an FA(?). You could try the none Si chrome grille and find some way to mount the Si emblem or just lose it and make a sleeper

nah I defiantly don't like the silver look. It would look similar to a base civic but it still is a little different and i would keep the SI emblem. Someone if you can photoshop it would be awesome

black grill > chrome grill

body-colored grill > black grill

I think it would look good Kris. Keep your stock grille if you can so you can switch if you don't end up liking it. I think it looks pretty sharp on RR. SOme say I should do that or CF to my TW, but not sure yet.
