It is running OEM stock wheels with snow tires now. I think I may have a couple pictures with R90 but I have to look for.

I just checked with Bernadi website. This is the part number for front grille.

Year Front Grille Part Number
2009 71121-TK6-A01
2012 71121-TK6-A11

That's wierd... I just checked again and they are the same.

It might be some inconsistancy somewhere, not us. We informed each other base on facts.

are you kidding me? no way it'll fit. your too concentrated on the grille part numbers. you, of all people should know that the mugen grille sticks out about half an inch farther then the stock one. it actually sticks on to part of the bumper. DID YOU NOTICED THE HEADLIGHTS TOUCH THE GRILLE ON THE 2012 MODELS?! so your mugen grille will overlap your headlights.

also i refuse to believe the grilles are even the same. eaither the hood, headlight, or grille changed, cause no way is the grill on my 2010 the width of the the lower portion of my hood, or come into contact with my headlights..

If you look at my previous post, Mugen grille will not fit 2012 Honda FIT. Paer numbers are different.

This is the rear brackets. Just go to Home Depot and buy cable holders. I think $2-3 each.

Are the modified brackets the reason they sit up higher?

Yes, the rails are still Civic Si rails. So no modification to Civic Si seats nor OEM FIT seats. Using existing holes as well so I can return to OEM FIT seats as I wish.

Actually, the original question was regarding the base fit. In this case the grill is the same as 2011 sport or lower. So the mugen grill will fit a 2012 BASE model, but not the sport.

Did you use cans or a sprayer to PD those parts? Also how much did you use? Thanks in advance!

Those raptors are redic in person. Intimidating.

I bought 3 gallons of plastic dip. So I used from the gallons. I plan to plastic dip my entire Raptor in matte silver or white.
