Default New grills and chin spoiler

Just got thru putting on the Stack Racing billet grills and chin spoiler. I think the grills are the same as CDC. Either way their instructions are pretty much worthless. They also use those POS metal tabs to screw into. Why cant these companies use nuts and bolts and charge another $5.00? It would make things alot easier and hold better. That and the heads of the screws they use are too small for the holes in the brackets. I had to put washers on them. Also had to bend the holding brackets for the lower grill as it kept sitting too low. Otherwise the grills themselves are great. I also painted some of the brackets behind the upper grill so the didnt show so much. I didnt paint the chin spoiler yet as I wasnt sure if i wanted to or not but after putting the grill on i think I will. The hood is next, should hopefully have it on next weekend.

Yeah the more I look at it the more i want it painted. It looked ok until the grills went on. Too much black i guess.

I just think when they are painted they look more like they came from the factory that way. However, with that said, it's just a preference....they look good both ways. I debated it with mine, but inevitably decided to get it painted.
