Yep, 20 minutes start to finish. I got my neighbor to help hold the grille in place while I put a few zip ties on, and then when it was securely in place I did the rest without his help. Because of the zip ties it could not be easier.

I think it looks just fine. But for $100....Hmmm...I might take some of the other recommendations and just use something locally available that would cost less.....I'll have to think about it. I'm thinking some expanded metal sprayed flat black with good paint would probably look fine and would certainly protect the condensor. Since I haven't picked up my fit yet...can someone tell me the dimensions of that opening so I know what size grill I'll need?

Thanks much!

Maybe someday Honda will release an OEM lower grill replacement that actually provides protection to the condenser, but until then, Mr. Grille hooked me up!
I hear ya.
