A neighbor recently added an overlay grill to his SUV. It actually looks pretty good, at least from across the street. Out of curiosity, I googled to see if I could find a similar product for the Fit. The only one I found was at Ebay. The seller's feedback is excellent (most folks appear to really like the product), so I e-mailed him to see if he had a picture of the grill installed on a Fit. All of his grills for other cars/trucks include photos of them installed on their corresponding vehicles but the 2-piece Fit grill that he is selling isn't featured on a Fit. Anyway, I got a response back. He is willing to refund me $20 if I buy it, install it, and take a picture of it on my Fit.


Have any of you had any experience with these bolt-on/bolt-over/overlay grills?

 

I would like to see what this is about...Could you post the link?

 

eBay Motors: 07 2007 Honda Fit Bolton 2pc Billet Grille Grill (item 230076319840 end time Jan-16-07 15:14:34 PST)


I wasn't sure if we are allowed to post links to ebay, so forgive me, mods, if I have sinned.

 

I'm not sure how well this would match the FIT grille area

 

if hes going to refund your money, definately do it, and if you end up not liking it, sell the damn things lol! it might actually look good though, my stepdad has those grille add-ons on his truck, they look nice.

 

any pics of a fit with these?

 

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww nasty

 

Honestly, I have a problem picturing it on a Fit. I wish I were better with photoshop.

I suppose I could install one and live with it for awhile - if it's just a matter of taste. (I've begun noticing the elaborate, over-the-top grillwork on the front of all sorts of vehicles here in Kansas. I realize the Fit's appeal is cleaner styling, but when in Rome....) Then I could take a picture of it on my vehicle and put it back up on ebay.

Maybe some other Fit owner will take the plunge. I'm sure the seller would make anyone the same deal he was willing to give me. Meanwhile, I'll just watch the guy's completed sales listings and his feedback for a Fit grill. Surely, I won't be the only one who'll be tempted to take the bait.

As far as actually fitting onto the Fit, the guy's feedback indicates that his grills have consistently fit every other vehicle for which they were designed. I don't want to hassle with returning it - and dealing with ebay feedback - if it should turn out to be the first one of his grills that doesn't fit.

 

argh. i cant believe billet grilles still sell. they didnt look good 15 years ago. let the truck guys buy those and put something a little more "fit"ting on your car

im sure grillecraft will have one out soon.

 

I just purchased these:eBay.ca: Honda Fit 07 2007 billet grille grill MrGrille (item 130102016662 end time 24-Apr-07 09:06:39 EDT).

It seems to look less agressive and the price is decent.
I will post pictures if I install them for good.
