In case anybody is wondering why I am posting each review as a new thread, it is to help anybody in the future who may do a thread search for one particular product. I hate it when some thread goes WAY off topic.
So the upper billet grille was a royal PITA to install, only because it is so difficult getting the OEM grille out of the grille frame. Use caution, patience, and a small screw driver. I was p!ssed, but finally got the old one out. The new grille fit OK, but really is not as secure as the OEM piece. Finish was less than desirable, as the paint had horrible runs all over the place. Looked like my 8 year old boy painted it.:nono: Luckily, you can't see the runs once it is installed, as they are all on the bottom of each bar.
The lower grille piece is impossible to install by yourself, unless you install it before installing the upper piece back in place. I screwed up, installed the upper first, then tried to do the lower. No way. So a buddy came buy and held it in place from the bottom as I secured it from the top, from behind the upper grille.
I really like the looks of this mod. I was happy to get rid of the gigantic fog lights and pony emblem. Car looks much more aggressive, and should provide better airflow into the CAI and radiator, even if just a little bit.
