Billet grills installed

[jumbosrule]

Completed the upper and lower grille install this weekend. It's nice! Had to mod the license plate holder and bend some of the welded brackets on the upper grille to get a better fit. It went smoothly though - and there's a lot more room between the grille and the radiator.

Question - for those that have the lower grille - how did you access the nuts in order to tighten them? I couldn't get a wrench or socket on the nuts and had to put pressure on the grille and then finger tighten the nuts. When I released pressure, I was not able to unscrew the nuts, but I know vibration is going to start to move the nuts. I don't want to be the guy that has the grill fall off on the highway. Any suggestions?

PIX and RED

Yes - I was told back in 2004 there were only 50 in the US. After 2004 they stopped production. I have seen two others here in Houston - so I know we have three in Texas! I had to do the grills to be different from them.

About two hours. This set was ordered through Stillen and the directions are not illustrated. Fortunately it's not all that complicated.

if maybe you changed the nuts you use with the ones with the plastic in it or use lock tight.

i may prefer to use the OEM with black
