How exactly does it not fit?

3.0R and 3.0R-B have the same front bar so should bolt up fine..

MY07 model '06 or prefacelift car like the one pictured?

If prefacelift and the mounting holes are slightly out, then Id say its for a '07-'09 model. Pretty much the same size as your grill area?

yep its a pre face lift model, id say your on the money I have a 06 MY07. and yea the holes are out and its just slightly taller than my stock grill. the other thing is my stock grill has 4 mounting clip holes. this grill has 2. that should be evidence as to post facelift?

ok don't see how that's getting any closer to a solution. I know my car is a pre facelift. the grill does not fit.

Sounds like you've got it under control mate :) Just figured you were confused since you said your car is a Pre-facelift MY07.

Prefacelift - MY04-06
Postfacelift - MY07-09

Confirming my previous question will help you out. As they are both different cars.

Only two holes on the outer of the grill for mounting = '07-'09 spec grill.

Do you have a link to where on japan parts you found this? I've been searching for ages for my 04 sports 2.5i and this is the closest yet!
