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 like the look and the idea. I might try this one day and see how it looks on mine being I have a chrome grill shell. it might be too much for me.

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.

well if u do do your lights i dont stress taking your time with dissmantle and mine i used black gasketmaker and after i filled any void on the headlight seam with black silicone i actually used 2 tubes and the headlghts dont fog up......oh if u use masking tape use the good 3m painters tape i used cheap masking tape and it in 1 small spot actually took off some of the reflector bowl
