2000–2003 Honda S2000 Center Grille Installation Instructions and Care guide
Step 1 – Place the grille inside the opening. The grille should conform to the center opening on the car and fit snugly. This will actually provide the support for the grille.
Step 2 - Use a pencil or magic marker to mark the holes where you want to route the zip ties. On the center grille, the cable ties will attach to the plastic OEM grille slats.
Step 3 – Route a zip tie through an opening in the grille (from the back) and then through the front of the grille via an adjacent hole. Unless you have tiny hands, you may need to attach a second zip tie to the end of the first to add length.
Step 4 - Wrap the zip ties around or thru the OEM grille slates. Now, complete the zip tie loop, go ahead and push the zip tie “tail end” thru the back of the grille and out the front. This way you will be able to pull tight from the front side. Loosely fasten the zip tie, do not tighten at this point. Repeat steps 3 & 4 for the other sides. You can add as many as you like but two cable ties should be plenty. Each cable tie has a 40 pound tensile strength rating, you grille only weighs a pound or so, don’t over do it.
Step 5 – Go back and secure each zip tie by pulling slightly on each one. Use an alternating pattern. This will ensure the grille is pulled in evenly and has a secure even fit. Do not over tighten, it is possible to damage the grille insert during this step. Clip off excess cable material.
Side Grille Installation Procedure:
Step 1 – Place the grille insert inside the opening. You may need to push the trim out a little to get the best fit. We won’t worry about fine tuning the fit until we get the side grilles attached.
Step 2 - Use a pencil or magic marker to mark the holes where you want to route the zip ties (4 places). On the side grilles we will be drilling some small holes. A 5/32” drill bit works well but you may want to go up one size if you have large hands, this will make things easier. Approximate locations are shown in the picture below.
Step 3 – Your markings should look similar to this, now let’s go ahead and drill the holes.
step 4 – We will have to go beneath the car and remove a couple of pop rivets and some screws so we can get our hand behind the panel for the side vent. The view below is from underneath, use the tire as a reference point. Go ahead and remove these fasteners and drop the plastic panel down so we can get our hand behind. (this is a typical configuration for most late model Hondas)
