Upper and lower grill garnish. Done in 20-30 minutes!
These are purchased from Grille4u - Grille4you Auto Parts | Aluminum,Stainless Steel,billet grille, mesh grill, Machined, Symbolic grilles, Sidebar, NerfBar, BMW, Cadillac, Chevy, Chrysler, Dodge, Ford, GMC, Honda, Infiniti, Jeep, Lexus, Nissan, Scion, Toyota, Hyundai, Mazda
Tell'em Craig, the locksmith sent you. 
Remove your bumper cover. 
There are 4 screws circled above. The rest are clips.
The upper 2 piece grill is attached as so...
The bottom grill is attached with 4 z-clips. The screws that came with the installation kit worked well for me. 
This looks great, IMHO, and is easy to install!
While I had the bumper off, I installed my 6000K Bi-Xenon HID kit too.
Sorry I didn't take pictures of the installation of the HID lights or the cruise control installation I did when I first got my Fit.
I get so wrapped up in the more complex installations that I focus solely on the installation and can't afford to be side tracked.
(The Bi-Xenon install was semi-easy, though!)

I feel you!
I put these on the front to stave off rock attacks.
I noticed a lot of hits on the A/C coil and my Fit is only 3 months new! 
The ZETA chrome hatch trim looks good to me, also!

That actually looks pretty good. I really like how the insert fills in the empty gaps in the grill and bumper. Now if only it was sold in black...

I hated the look of the upper grill, and would have painted the lower grill black. If you like the look of both on your car, more power to you. After my wreck on Saturday, my lower grill is now a little wad of crumpled up aluminum. Whether I buy a used '08, or a new '09 Fit to replace my totaled '07, I will use the expanded aluminum panels from JCWhitney to protect the A/C condenser, instead of the aluminum grills. Again, if you like the combination of the upper/lower grills, keep 'em. I did not like both- thought that the car now looked like a PT Cruiser. Qualityof the Grills4You products was very good for the low price.
The bolt-on grills for protection of the condenser have an advantage over the panels placed behind the stock plastic grill--- panels allow leaves and road debris to get stuck to the panel. The bolt-on grills do not allow leaves, etc. to stick.

Takes no time to clean them out. I try to wash my car twice a week anyway. Plus anything over the black plastic looks horrible IMO

Good morning to you, too.
