Default Race mesh grills??

Have any of you guys installed your own side vent grills and front air dam? How long did it take? How difficult was it? Thx

Installing the front Racemesh is a cinch, but forget the Racemesh side vents and spend the extra cash on GM side vents.

Front was easy. I used a wire to pull the zip-tie back thru. A little fishing probably about 15 min. The sides are a little more work. about an hour and a half. I used wire and blue tape to hold them in place while the silicone dried overnight. Looks like they are in for good.

Good luck!
