Default Billet Grille Install?

I searched and there are only a couple of threads about billet grilles for the xA. My question is for those of you that do have them(I know a couple of you have them) How do they install? Do you have to cut anything out of the old one, or do you just install it in it's place? Do you have to drill any holes or does it just use the factory bolts? I have a billet grill on my truck and I had to cut out some of the middle part of the factory grille shell and drill a couple of holes and I don't want to have to do this to my new car. I love the look of billet grilles, especially compared to the wire mesh stuff. Mesh looks cheap IMO... and I dont want to shell out a fortune to buy a Kenstyle or one like that. Thanks.

I have one on the 05 I have and its a pain in the @$$ to get to fit. I ordered it from www.grille4you.com the top and bottom well the bottom grill did not fit at all and they would not give me my money back for it. the top was a pain to install and yes you have to drill some holes to make it fit. Looks good on the egg but it was a pain in the @$$ to install

is the top and bottom of the grill bolted down? Does any of the grill rub anywhere to cause the paint to chip? thanks

I finally got mine installed today. It's still not 100% straight, I got tired of fighting with it. I'll finish adjusting it some other day. Overall I'm happy with the look. http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/inde...mageID=8884958

Use a different site to host the pics. To see them on myspace you have to be logged in and well, that's just a pain for us to see the pics.
