I think the billet looks pretty sweet. How difficult was it to install?

It was a little difficult. Nothing lined up the way it was supposed too. There were very vague instructions. Getting the old grill out was a challenge and cutting out the guts was even more difficult. I wound up buys a heat saw because regular blades and roto zip's apply too much preassure to the existing grill frame weakening it in the process. After some bending and shaping of the insert I finally was satisfied with the look and tightened everything down and put the grill back in the car but it was touch and go for a while.

I bought this billet off of ebay for $65.00, that may have been part of the problem. I know there is another billet that looks identical for $189.00. Maybe its easier to install.
