The auction states '06,'07,'08, therefore it will not fit the '09's and up because of the design difference. Here is also a picture that will show the grille design difference. Hopefully that helps.

Why am I coming back to this and decided to leave my 2cents on my 2nd visit?

Your O/E grill cost about 3x more than that home_depot product from fleabay, and the real one from Blitz is about 10x more.

Please support and respect JDM parts manufacturers.

dont get it...i picked it up and it is the biggest pos i've ever bought... it probably cost like 10 dollars to produce. if your set on getting it, do one for with the best offer thing and offer like 50-60im sure you'll get it for that or maybe less

you'll have to pay a good bit more than $180 - in addition to a few DIY fixes - for these replica grilles to work. i've had experiences w/ a replica grille insert and grille replacement, and neither fit like the oem grille + grille insert.

i recommend that you paint your grille surround and headlight housings. you're better off w/ the oem grile and no fitment issues than a replica grille that you're going to have to make DIY fixes/adjustments more often than you'd like.
