Got the front screens with the full body around them. Had to hide the holes I drilled beside my fog lights to let some air in.

Looking good!

I started on mine this afternoon, should be done Saturday. Taking longer than I hoped.....I'm also installing some black/clear signals, and I'm not having fun up under the bumper!

Did you use velcro on the fog light screens! I did some searching here and saw that alot of guys used that trick. I was going to drill holes like factory, but a hassle, so I went velcro route, which is nice. Easily removable!

Mine came with double sided tape. Went with that for now.

Hey Dave, mine came with that too, but didn't really hold the grill in place very tight. I read one post where some one took a drive, got out of the car, and noticed his grill was hanging by a piece of the tape. So I tried the velco. Maybe if the tape sets for a few days, it will hold/bond better. I installed the rear grills with the tape also, so far they are on there good, and holding tight. Thanks!

I have the full body Z06 style grills, not just the screens with rubber moulding around them. They are in tight.
