So I have the worst luck ever. Anyone know the best priced place to order a 2015 Sports grille and how bad is it to DIY?

Quite sure the bird's luck was worse than your own.

 

The perfect opportunity to get the Sport Grille!
Sport Grille - 08F21-T5A-300 - College Hills Honda

There is a pdf instruction sheet on that web page.

 

Had mine installed at the Dealer when I ordered my options for my Fit.

 

Does it only come with this part? The bottom black mesh grille part looks like another item :/

 

It's actually a one piece unit. My factory Grille had to be removed entirely to install the Sport Grille. I thought it was only the Chrome piece that was the Sport Grille. But it's not. It's the entire Grille itself. After I got mine installed the Dealer gave me back the factory installed Grille in the back hatch.

 

How much did they charge you for labor?

 

Not sure. I had a bunch of options installed. Everything was rolled into the final out the door price.

 

Should be an easy diy project. Just have the proper tools.

 

Wow! over $200 for a piece of plastic with a little fake chrome strip in the middle! I thought people were buying LXs to get the unadorned black center bar!

BTW, a bird in the grill is bad, but it could have been worse. Years ago, I took a bird in the front of my helmet while riding a motorcycle at 60MPH. Luckily, it was a smaller bird than yours!

 

I installed one on my own. It's about an hour and a half or so without rushing. You have to be willing to take the front of your car this far apart:

 

It looks like this now:

 

Just an FYI, but the Japanese 2016 version has the new grille design that the US market might get in 2017. It's a bit more 3Dish in that the H emblem and the bull horns extend further out from the mesh part of the grille.

 

Ohhhh!!!! That's very handsome!

 

I wonder if that will fit out older models.

 

JHN. Toss a coat of white PlastiDip on yours.

I did to my GE.

 

I had a body shop color match it White Orchid Pearl. I ditched the rear chrome garnish, replaced it with an LX and I had that color matched as well.

 

No, they don't currently. The front and rear JDM bumper/grill assemblies are not interchangeable with the '15 USDM models. I see no reason to believe they'll interchange on the '16 either.

 

hahaha!

 

Found a honda shop that will do it for 189 + tax! I taped that hole up for now.
