im having trouble with the top, the top bottom tabs that are suppose to pop in, seem almost too big for the slot? did any of you guys have to deal with this?

wow. thats not the right size. i got the SE grille from toyota basically and it fit right in. your's looks different. might have to machine it or something.

Sky do you have any pics of your grille installed? I ordered my set from Pacificmotorsports on Ebay and no instructions were included. They suppose to be sending me some. The top grille has SES on it, which is suppose to be a replacement grille. The lower one doesnt havent any name on it and it suppose to bolt onto the lower grille. It seems fishy that the lower grille doesnt have a name on it. On the ebay page the Cam. in the pic doesnt have a name on either.


I read in this post that the bumper has to be raised some. Is there any additional screws to take out to lift the bumper?

1) I never got the top grille installed cause it didn't fit correctly, I returned it back to the company and the bottom grille fitment was really off but I managed to get it to stay.

2) I wouldn't mind the brand names as long as they fit, from my research during the time, there were a few aftermarket companies that made similar grilles. T-rex, grille4you, e&g, and ect. that looks like a t-rex grille cause it has a line in the middle connecting both sides not too sure.

yah after you unscrew two screws on left and right you can force the bumper upward one side at a time in order to get alil more room to work with. it feels like your breaking it but you won't.
