Default Upper/Lower Billet Grille Combo

I installed the upper portion a month ago but finally was able to get the lower portion on yesterday. Issue I had was with the pony package their is no honeycomb to secure the j hooks to on the lower portion of the bumper. My cousin fabricated new hooks that would fit to the bumper(the ones provided were about 1/4 " too big). Then we used "straps" to connect the other two bolts.(we also cut a portion of the plastic on the lower bumper insert to get a more flush fit) I should have taken pictures(I might add later) but I didn't feel like crawling under my car. It is already upper 90's in Vegas. Here are before and after photos, I want to add chrome headlight housings to complete the look. I know some don't like the "bling" look, but I love it on my vista blue pony.

Before:



With just the upper:



With both:

Looks good! And thanks for the pics of a vista blue with clear corners! I'm considering getting a pair sometime this year and you're helping the cause haha.

It looks much better with the lower grille in.
I didn't think I could like the chrome grilles, but it looks really nice with Vista.
Good job.
