    A few tips from my experience.

    After you remove all the screws from the outer surround. You will have to separate the the grill from the outer surround; be careful when removing it. as the little tabs will break really easy.

    DSC01714.jpg

    As HomerTaco suggested, use the lip around the grill to help you guide the Dremel.

    And again, as mentioned before, the bottom becomes very flimsy when the grill is being cut out so be careful.

    totally forgot about these... :facepalm:

    I made two sets of M1 mesh that is a drop in kit just like the raptor sets.

    Here they are:

    I'll mount one up into the grill this weekend to show you what they look like complete.

    I'm price these at $65 + shipping for unfinished and +$16 for the p/c version.

    8 thumbs up to HomerTaco for the help getting the grill on. It's pretty straight forward, just make sure you have the grill on as centered as possible and is secured all the way around by the outer surround.

    Add one more to your "Happy Customer" list!

    Received the grill Saturday and well..I got it installed by 1:30am Sunday morning.

    I decided to plasti dip the letters with some left over stuff I had. I did them in anthracite grey and a few layers of gloss.

    Before the anthracite..

    Getting everything lined up with the dipped letters....
