Installed - Aero Grilles on MC

I did my first real DIY project today...I installed the Aero Grilles on my '04 MC's stock bumper. Upper grille was easy, aside from dropping hardware...lol...lower grill was a complete pain in the ****. I ended up cutting off the tabs and using epoxy to secure it to the bumper. The top edge of the lower grille fits flush, but the bottom edge protrudes maybe 1/8 inch, but it still looks pretty good to me. Tell me what you think!

(I know, the car is filthy...it's still in "winter mode"...and I still need to wipe off the grilles and do a final cleanup with some bug and tar remover...)





I think I'm gonna take my chances with Wisconsin's Finest and leave the license plate off for now. Next on the list are tinted windows (appointment a week from tomorrow), white bonnet stripes, and PIAA 540's, neither of which I'm doing myself.
