Seibon grill wrong size?

I picked up a used carbon Seibon grill for my Fit yesterday. Should these slide right into place after the OEM grill is removed? I fussed with this thing for over and hour and it just wont slide into place. I'm thinking it might be for a Jazz or JDM front end? I'm assuming those are not interchangeable. Can anyone confirm this?

The guy I bought it off had it given to him by a guy parting out his car and just said "Hey, heres some parts I never sold. Do what you can with them" and I got this thing for almost nothing. So the seller didn't know what front this came off of.

the JDM front end is shorter then the USDM. Post up some pics of your fitment issues. Another possibility is you have a grill for the newer Fit.

It is for a GD. I know that for sure. All the curves match. It just won't slide into place. I was looking at it again and noticed a label on the bottom and I can just barely make out "jazzmgfg" The first part is worn off.

Well, if anyone has a JDM conversion they've done and are looking for a carbon Mugen style grill, you'll find it in the buy/sell area soon. Maybe someone that's done a conversion has a Mugen or J's USDM grill they wanna trade. I'll post it up once I do some more work on it and give the clear coat a bit more life. It's much better than it was before, but still has a bit of a haze on the lower front bit when the sun hits it.
