Default New Grill----Need Help.

Ok so my fiance Amber tells me back in April she ordered me something-- so it's almost may and she's like WTF any way I told her maybe it's on backorder(I still did not now what it was)
Ok so now it's June I told her just cancel the order well guess what its here today and "hell yes" its the grill I finally decided on---heres a pic of what it should look like once it's installed:

Ok so I go to look for the instructions and there is non so I figure this should be easy as pie.
Well I still cannot figure this damn thing out I don't know what I'm missing here---take a look at the pic's the brackets on the new grill make no sense to me:

the clip things look like they should be in the middle instead of the exposed parts of the mesh, so that they would screw into the center divider thingy. but that's just me.

Looks like it should attach to the original grill with some nuts and bolts with washers. You know, like put a bolt facing backwards and it goes through the stock grill, put a washer and nut on it and tighten 'er down. That's what it looks like to me. Can you contact the manufacturer. They probably have a .pdf they can email you.

I might have to do something like that---what I might do is go to my friends shop tomorrow morning and see what they can do if not I'll have to figure something out.

I used to have the honeycomb grill and I switched it out for the strait chrome mopar grill so it's all still mopar but it just seems like it should have the bolt thingamajigs on the sides so I can screw it in.
I called the people Amber ordered the grill from and I emailed the manufacture so we'll see tomorrow guy's------I'm really looking forward to getting this grill on I really like the way it looks plus it's made out of billet so it's heavy duty.
