You have to use ingenuity with these kits, they all seem to come with crappy hardware.

They are a pain but it can be done. Do you feel comfortable removing the front bumper? If so it would be ultra easy. Taking the front bumper off is easy as well, just time consuming. I've had mine off my car about 5-6 times now.

Are you struggling with the tops or bottoms?
Bottoms are easy to hide.... Tops, I don't really know with those. My kit came with screws. Maybe paint the zip ties black?

CCG's sample pack is pretty tempting, $5 to compare all their products, and comes with $5 off coupon.

There is a crappy old pic of CCG's on my car. They are nice quality. And screw in. I used zip ties on the bottom.

Yes CCG is great. I emailed him asking for just a 15x5" sheet of the grill I had because I needed it for my scoop and air dam and he gave me a good price instead of saying to just order the full 48"x whatever sheets they offer.
Corey, I also ziptied my bottom ones on, the pushpins are chincy and I didn't want them to come out and have me drive over the grill. Especially after having to flip them over and cut them to fit IN my bumper with the air dam rather than just behind it.
Also, when I hit a HUGE porcupine I ripped the air dam off the bumper and the bottom grills were wrecked. I took the grills out, bent the one back and it is fine. The other one actually snapped in two so that's no good.

How much did he charge you for that sheet? As you can see, I have to grills for my hood.
