Default New Vertical Grill----Finally.

Ok well my fiance Amber decides to surprise me with the vertical dgill inserts I finally decided on so. She orders them in april and they don't arrive until late june I was like wtf.
OK so I decided to install them and come to find out theres no instructions and the hardware that came with it makes no sense so I call them up and they said sorry we don't carry extra instructions sheets, anyway I take it to some place to have them figure it out and this is how they installed it needless to say I was not happy with the look because thats not the way it's supposed to look like.

So I decided to buy another grill and just figured I would work on it when I had the time and today was the day---FINALLY.
Heres some pic's of what it looked like installed but not the right way.

not bad, kinda looks like the lincoln trucks. I am guessing the old grill comes out right? I think once you do that it will look sweet.

Ya I saw it, but his last sentence said it wasnt installed correctly or something like that, which made me think he just threw it on and the old one comes out.

I've had that grill for about 3 months now. Got it for $15 bucks! Looks great on these when installed right.

Here's a link to a pic of mine. It wasn't actually designed for my truck, but enough zip ties fixed that!

Looks "DAMN GOOD", I just drilled some extra holes and screwed it in with some metal square tabs.

Ok heres the grill installed the way it should have been the first time:
