    Just got in and could not wait to get it in. it took about an hour and was super easy to put in. I would post in the grill craft thread but I did break a clip and want to see what you guys think, I might be zip tieing it down if it is a prob.

    The finished product -

    If you got both pieces. You can plastic weld it back with some stuff from a hardware store. Toyota also sells a repair kit.

    To easy man if you know how to work a sawzaw you are good. Once you cut the middle out you just put in the metal, mark the holes, drill and secure with some screws onyl an hour job.
