So I tried to install the K2 grill on my SI coupe. Epic failure! When you tighten the screws, which are only on the outside edges of the grill, the center pulls upward leaving a large gap between the grill and the bumper.....

I know some ppl on here have installed this grill, so what is the trick?

No pics... It was very late at night and I just wanted to get the bumper back on the car... There is a nice gap between the center of the grill and the bumper....

Are you talking about this grill?
eBay Motors: 06 07 08 HONDA CIVIC SI 2DR 2D FRONT HOOD GRILL GRILLE (item 220338742269 end time Feb-01-09 20:59:10 PST)

There are enough screws to keep it tightened down, I don't have the issue you're talking about...?

Yes, but there are 6 screws, 3 on each outer edge, when you tighten them down the center pulls upward... You really dont have this problem?

I just went outside and checked to see if the center wiggled--it's secure in place and there are no inconsistent gaps. Considering how my friends all shake their heads at how sensitive I am about my car, I'd notice trust me.

Maybe you got one w/ a bad production run, not sure. Screw em on from one side, starting from left to right maybe? The fit was fine, and I needed no modifications. Here's some pics for reference:

My car is the same color and your pics were the inspiration for purchasing the grill. Mine def did not look like that when I installed it. I'm calling K2 tomorrow...
