lower grille

does anybody have some pics on how their lower grille hardware and set up looks? Mine came with 2 brackets with a bend on the ends and then a screw goes through the middle of them, but the thing is that it doesnt sit properly. It falls forward/slanted, doesnt sit flush with the opening

The lip on the bracket catches the inside lip of the bumper and you tighten it down until its where you want it sitting and it's tight in place.

If it still is loose just bend the brackets so it will tighten sooner.

It sits just inside the outter edge on mine.

would you be able to take a pic of the backing? when i tighten it, thats when it starts to slant and looks bad, brackets dont seem like they fit right down there..and if i dont tighten the brackets it looks good but then its sooo loose

its not the fact that it comes loose, it just doesnt seem to fit in the lower opening with the brackets on properly. hard to describe, ill take pictures of it tomorrow and maybe it will clear it up
