I got mine from this place. http://stores.glazious.com/store/search.aspx. There are no instructions at all but it's not hard to figure out. The lower corner mounts on this grill are very poorly made and thinly 'cast(?)' You are supposed to remove the studs from the stock grille and that's really not a problem. They are double threaded - The grille side is pitched like a wood screw to bite the plastic and the other is machine threaded for a nut. I used a dremel to open up the holes to accommodate the studs, but even with attention paid to supporting the area and going slow, it broke off. Mike has the right idea - Im using all the factory type studs except for the corners, waiting to see what he used in place of the studs. The grille isnt made very well but looks amazing and with some tweaking ends up to be a great find for us.

I painted my lower billet flat black to match the bumper insert and it kind of disappears. I think I nailed the look I was after for the front.

They were really cool about replacing the broken one - didnt ask for it back either. Im going to do something with that one too.

The one that broke on mine was the top center. I agree, not the highest of quality but you get what you pay for. The ebay listing I got mine from sent me a new one too and didn't ask for the original back. Because of the quality, I'm using the broken one first, to see how it holds up.

On the weaker locations, one could add some JB weld to beef the areas up..

Good hearing the feedback so far on this grille, it does have a good look..

The link is to the same ebay seller..
