    Pretty much you take off the bumper and repeat the same steps for the grille.

    If you look on either side of your engine bay there are 2 bolt holes (on both sides) bear the top. The one on the right is directly behind the fuse box. The bolts that currently hold the horns in place fit perfectly in those bolt holes.

    Factory:
    DSC00475_f38acffb0fa505652fcbfdad1ca13034bf89a831.jpg
    Uninstalled, had to extend the factory wires (Easy):

    Small bend in mounting tab:
    DSC00481_0c25fd5c4b62eaae64bd6fbb741bafbead2a2f2e.jpg
    Used this (silver) radiator mounting bolt (the one half unscrewed):
    DSC00479_d85e2d0b985d2f81bd8cd94b9b98a1a5ce521d94.jpg
    Attached and wired hidden and protected from the heat of the radiator:
    DSC00482_7d89567a8052428d6e6439c81aca6882b9e3dd3a.jpg
    With half finished grill installed:
    DSC00483_87218ca523000f416270b44c4ad22d8e5361d366.jpg

    I put them there so they would still be in the front yet hidden behind grill.

    Finished:

    crap bolted and welded together....
    I used epoxy...But heres what to do.

    Make your patch panels and epoxy/glue them in place. When you apply the epoxy/glue, apply it to the edges and backside of the patch panels. Once dry, sand down any excess from the inner lip. Then apply bondo and continue with the MOD.
