Well I"ll tell how I installed mine. First of all I got mine off Ebay, I can look up the seller in the event that it plays a roll? Mine is a little on the thin side I was expecting it to be a little thicker.
First you have to revome the chrome cover. I found it easier flipping it over & removing the glue that helps keep the tabs in place. I has about 6 to 8 tabs, I can't recall from the top of my head, as I'm at work right now. I used a knife & gently picked at it, it should pop right off. The reason I did this is because I broke one of the tabs that I didn't the glue from. I learned the hard way.
2) Depending on your grille insert thickness, you might be able to skip this step? Once you have removed the oval shapped chrome part of the grille place your mesh insert over the OEM grille. Then, place the chrome over it, if the parallel grille is still showing? Which, in my caseit was, so I cut the all oem parallel grille's. Hindsight, I should have leftthe one's closest to the sides & the one in the middle, for added sturdiness. After I cut all the OEM parallel grille, I placed the mesh grille & epoxied the tabs in place. I'll take pics & post tomorrow.
