Hey Mike, it looks great. I really like how the grill turned out. I also like the door lock pulls, and the map light trim too. Here I thought Santa was giving you a lump of coal.

Thanks Ken...LOL.. Guess I was a better boy than I thought....

question - how does the grill stay on?
The bottom grille overlay has 4 J hook brackets with a screw that is accessed through the slats in the grille. The J brackets hook behind the short pillar of the stock lower grille. The main center piece has 4 screws accessed between the grille slats, with flat plates that lay behind the original honeycomb grille, with nuts behind them.
As far as the two side pieces left and right of the fogs, I was not pleased with the attachement of those pieces. Because the stock grilles is solid behind those areas, you actually use two screws on each side that screw through the stock grille. The manufacturer advertises this grille as being "no drilling required" which is technically correct, but, you actually thread the self tapping screw through the factory grille....[:@] Tricky.......

Mike your car is looking good. Be careful you might run out of thing to do to it. Then you'll have to get a new one and start over.
