I have them - got the top grille on fine, the bottom one - it is either not designed well or is not designed to work with the non ACC bottom grille. Or at least it does not work with my lower grill on performance pack GT. It covers the stock lower grill and comes with two small j-hooks that are supposed to "attach to the honeycomb" to keep the grille on. Well maybe it works with ACC lower grill, but my grille honeycomb is way too far back to reach, and the t-rex grille itself does not fit inside the stock grill, due to size it covers it up - so there is no way it can work as designed. Pretty pissed off since I have my bumper off and the cheap upper part of the bumper sides was so thin most of the connecting tabs detached with very little effort - have the wife at walmart getting some extra long zip ties to see if I can rig up some way to make the grille hooks reach.

but looks great once installed. getting tons of compliments.

to install the bottom grille I used like 16 black 11 inch zip ties

It looks great. How was the upper install? Included insructions any good?

I have been interested in this item but have been hesitant to pull the trigger due to the lack of user experiences.

top part is easy if you are OK with removing the entire front bumper which is a pain. also the instructions say you need a 5mm it's a 5.5. and you'll break some bumper tabs the way the bumper is put on unless you remove the fender first
