    Just installed front bumper and skid on my 2015. All went well and bumper looks great. Skid went on well and everything is locked down. Question for the 2012-2015 cats. How did you secure the lower section of your grill? Did you use Velcro, drill a couple of the tabs and screw them to the lower pressed channel. I just don't want to hear a lot of vibration or rubbing from the grille. Here's some pics

    I didn't do anything to secure the bottom and I don't notice any vibration, rattle, etc...

    Looking solid OP What did you end up doing with your fender liners? Just a chop where they met the bumper? Or a full removal?

    Also what’s the skinny on your lower grille? Did you end up having to secure it. I’m gonna be on the install train in a few weeks

    I cut just the front.
    I drilled the bottom tabs and put a semi tight zip tie to hold it in place. But probably didnt need to do that.

    Be Safe...
