91-92 only for the sunny grill with the "S" emblem. it dosent clip into the oem locations. just the middle one clips in. youll have to rig somthing or just get zip ties.

i have an 91 b13...i'm asking b/c i was planning to get the 93-94 grill, and i know that you have to convert the head lights, and that bottom pieace under the grill and head lights which i dont no what it's called....so i'm guessing i dont have to convert anything rite?...just slap it rite on rite?...

SR20 91 SE-R

no if you have a 91 - 92 you'll have to swap the front end of a 93 - 94

se-r_311

damn...that sucks then...well thanks bro...

Not sure what this means.

Short version: Changing the '91-'92 front to a '93-'94 is _not_ the path to installing the Super Saloon grille.

I have a '92 SE-R & the '91 Sunny "SS-in-circle" grille. It seems me to be much harder to fit to a '93-94 B13. The JDM model that used this grille had a filler piece that was straight across. The '91-'92 USDM filler strip between the headlights/grille area & the bumper cover was a little taller directly below the grille area, and the US grille was shorter to match. The '93-'94 USDM is all different. Compare pics in the forum & you'll see what I mean.

The guy who did the interesting but often-painful-to-read project series in, I think, Sport Compact Car, went into how he butchered the deeper front filler from the ''91-'92 to make it straight so as to fit the SS grille. He went on at some length on why his way of doing it was stupid because it was so hard to cut the metal filler down smoothly. The '93-'94 has the side filler strips below the headlights, and the area between them is part of the grille itself.

Looking at pics, some folks just leaned the taller SS grille back under the front edge of the hood of the '91-'92, while others seem to have clipped off the lowest of the seven horizontal bars of the SS grille, which makes it just about perfect to fill the horizontal space between the '91-'92 hood & bumper. I'm leaning toward doing this to install mine, but I kinda hate to chop on the grille, even if it doesn't compromise its looks.

I've saved a lot of forum pics of these grilles installed by forum members, but am having trouble pasting them into this post, which would make things much clearer. Take a stroll through the "Members' Rides" section, as well as the two "B13 Roll Call" threads to see some examples. Here's the first one:

Some others may have more helpful info.

what dont you get? its self explained. if you have a 91-92 front end and you want to put the 93-94 grill it wont work unless you change the headlights , headlight fillers(under lights) ,grill and corners from the 93-94

Heres my grill with no cutting no drilling. But its a 91 grill on a 91 car. I just pulled the brackets of the stock grill up so that the top clips can go in and tie wrap the bottom ones.

se-r_311

damn to confusing....nvm...i'll just go with the 93-94 grill....oh and by the way....if i want to go 93-94, do i have to convert the corner lights too???..if so that's going to suck...just got my amber corner lights 2 weeks ago?...:S....i no i have to conver the head lights, and the filler and oh course the grill....but do i have to convert the corner lights??????
