Default Grillcraft Grill Installed

Finally got it today, took about 2 hours. Had to drill holes in the grill for the new mounting hardware which was a pain. Also it came with stainless screws that stick out like no other. Eventually going to paint them black. Overall not bad, i think it gives it more of a clean look. Also someone said they want to buy my old inserts, how much you guys think they re worth?

Thanks for the other pic. I think mine looks close to yours. I'm waiting for it to get dark so I can see what they look like then.
