Aero Grill

OK, you guys guilted me into ordering the lower aero grill. So now who's going to show me how to install? I know that I have to mod the grill. I've seen some posts here that show steps/pictures. Seems much more involved than what y'all explained at dinner Thursday. Any advice would be helpful. Euro parcel shelf is also showing up this week. That one I can do!

Thanks,

Fritz

I just put mine in the table vice and used a dremmel to cut away. I only modified the grill not the bumper. Again I can always help you with this.

I would definitely remove the bumper, Fritz. If you need help I'd be glad to show you how I did mine. I would highly recommend getting a strip of black vinyl from a sign shop a little bit bigger than the area that the center grill takes up. I painted mine and rock chips are starting to make the paint come off. The vinyl will keep it looking clean.
