Doesn't look bad as some I've seen, but I still prefer stock

Not to down him or anything, but it doesn't look that hard. Cut the middle peices in the grill, sand them to make it smooth then paint. Then attach the new mesh.
Pretty much. A few other steps and tricks... but that's basically it.

You only cut out the horizontal slats of the stock grill. Then the mesh needs to be cut to fit almost perfectly on the edges. It overlaps behind the plastics slightly so that you can use some adhesive to secure it to the plastic part of the grill frame.

Oh so it barely being held by the frame of the grill? Hope nothing hits it, lol. For the bottom peice though, since use 2.4 guys got that lower grill, couldn't you have done the same to that as the top instead of just putting it behind the bumper?

Well there are no clips on the top portions. We used a waterproof sealant. Kind of like aquarium glue. It's very thick. It holds strong. FastSS06's has held up against some stones. Mine's pretty solid too. I mean it's not going to move unless I hit something of pretty good size. Even then... it'll give a little. I'd rather it do that and have to secure it again than it breaking clips and/or possibly the grill frame.

if im correct it is gutter guard as i work with nextgear we use gutter guard for alot of import grills. It costs like $1.50 or les at lowes or home depot and will never rust or anything. It is the same stuff people put over there gutter to keep leaves out. Trust me the picture dose not do justice gutter guard looks great and its cheap.
