Hood Scoop Grille
************************************************************
This was a bit of a pain to install. We had to take the hood scoop off. Its a matter of removing the underhood pad and loosening and removing all the nuts. Then the scoop actually has some tape holding it as well. Work it slowly and it lets go. Then we drilled some holes by the uprights in the new grille. Then we wrapped black wire around the upright and pulled it thru the holes and used a butt connector to hold it tight. The reinstall took cleaning off the old tape and adding some new. We only started about 1 inch of the tape on each end. We then carefully let down the scoop and got the bolts in the holes before pulling the tape backing. This little trick helped us get everything lined up. A bit of black felt to ease the vibration on the bottom of the new grille and we were good to go.

Front Grille
************************************************************
It was a straight forward install on the factory nose. Open the hood and remove the 2 top screws, then the 2 bottom ones. The new grill needed its tabs bent a bit to line up with the holes. I used some clipping nuts to attach to the holes and then used some screws to reinstall.
On the new Nose it was a bit harder. I could only use the top holes as the nose did not come drilled for the bottom mount. It was meant for the grille delete. A simple reshaping (bending) of the bottom mount and some 3M tape to hold it in place took care of the problem for the bottom mount.

Lower Front Valance Grille
************************************************************
Install was quite easy. I bent the tabs to meet the cover and then ran a few screws in to hold it in place.

I'm going to have to custom make the lower one for the new nose. There is not one who sells one pre-made.
