Default Help with the tigershark frontend install

I am looking at a new TS frontend for my car since Johh at twenty first centery has such a great deal on them and the shipping is at a very good price also.

The ? i have is how hard is it to install one of these and does anyone have a rite up on a how to install them and what is involved in this project due to the open front where the stock frontend has the plate cover do you have to mod the front bumper to make them fit are does all of the parts come with the front cover?

any help would be great.

Thanks RTSVET

no modding needed.
It installs as easily as the factory fascia.
it fits exactly like the factory fascia also, no filling needed, just scuff and shoot.
my nephew is a painter at a body shop, and when he painted it, he said that it was less prep than most factory replacement front fascias they get in.
I removed the stock fascia, and installed the TS fascia after it was painted.

Thanks!

all of the screens come with the fascia, I bought the fascia w/fog light kit for my factory fog lights.
It also comes with new brake ducts to fit the fascia.

again, install was very easy, just unbolt the old fascia and replace it with the TS.
