I did it and wasnt really happy, the way our grille inserts mount up makes it kinda hard to get a good flat pull on the material

I threw mine away in like a week....it also catches every bug you hit going down the street....what color are you gonna do your headlights?

I dunno, I think I'd rather have bugs nailing the "gutta" than clogging up the radiator fins...

When I had mine on about a year ago I used card board and made cut outs. That made cutting it a breeze. I took mine off becuase of the oxidation, I never thought about painting it.
