I am replacing an aftermarket bumper cover with an OEM one I found used. However, the grill piece is missing and I want to replace it, but I need to figure out how it is mounted so I can get the right screws etc.

This is for an AP1.

In this diagram, is it #33, and #34 that I would use to mount the grill? On the back of the bumper cover I see little posts that may be related to holding the grill.

Thanks!

 

Is there a better sub-forum for this question?

Or is it really much more of an enigma than I thought?

 

The bumper has plastic posts, the grill has holes that the posts slide in. There are little rectangular metal fasteners that slide on the posts with the grill installed to keep the grill from sliding off. As far as where to get them, I'm sure your local Honda dealer has them. Look at the fasteners on the inside of your bumper that hold your license plate plugs on, I'm pretty sure they're the same type.

 

Great thanks.
Is the grill two pieces by chance? I have the grill piece here 71102-S2A-000 and it seems to only fill the upper 2/3rds of the bumper opening.

 

Nevermind. After asking the same question on another site, I see that the previous owner of this cover decided to take out the lower part of the grille, which normally is part of the bumper.
