    I'm famous. haha. I don't mind at all. :thumbsup:

    I'd like the silver for my truck but if you have other blue accents, maybe the blue is the way to go.

    BTW that's probably my favorite aftermarket grill at the moment.

    Hi guys,
    Is there locking tab when pushing the grille back?
    On mine, the lower right(driver side) of the grill is somewhat firm but the lower left side is loose and seems like it will come off easily if with slight pull.

    I do have both top screws and tabs installed.

    The corners on the left side of my grille was bent slighly. I tried to use a plier to makenit straight but it left mark on the grille. I think it helped a little but stopped as i didnt want mess it up. A little better after tightining and fitting it on the truck.
    Overall its not that bad if you look from few steps away :-|

    So anyone else having trouble getting the corners to sit flush? Drivers side flops right in, pass side is stuck on top of the plastic surround

    Get angry and push. Lol.

    I loosened up the rest and then pushed and started tightening the fasteners, it popped into place. Be careful you can see on the bottom two corners I over tightened just a bit and it bends inward slightly .

    Oh well.

    I had this same issue, so I loosened all the bolts and then made sure to push the grill into the frame completely, then slowly tightened the bolts again, and now I have a perfect fit. I also tightened (but not too tight) both sides first, then moved to the bottom, then top.

    I just received mine (Black, Inferno Backplate and Black Hardware). I'm not going to install it since I'm happy with my SR grille. Will be posting for sale, but if you have an interest, please PM me. I unboxed it to check it out and will be repacking it tonight.
