    I went the ziptie route and stick on square thingys for the zipties, and those didn't even last a week. what i ended up doing was using the same epoxy that i used to fill in the sides to glue the little square tabs to the actual grill, then i still used zip ties. Its kinda messy, and pretty lame sauce, but a least the little square dealies will be there and if i have to, all i have to replace is just the zipties. but i do like the screw and wingnut combo. I might have to upgrade in the future:D

    Lol cheers to lame sauce!

    I got pics of the grill installed today :) Looks great!

    Question for you guys...will painting the radiators black reduce the cooling efficiency? I'm not too worried about engine coolant but I don't want the S/C intercooler to run any hotter if I paint it.

    Not to pull up an old thread but...

    Smanz, just want to say thanks for the pics.

    I didn't want the usual mesh, got almost the same deal as you except I bought a sheet of the small perf 2010 pattern. After I ordered I finally found this thread, sent Matt an email and he cut all pieces to fit (center, triangles, and lower valance).

    Just finished up the center and triangles yesterday and love it.
    Now the problem is do I want to tackle the bumper... that was a lot of work.

    Anyway, Thanks again.
