bottom mesh grill

I know how to do it...trouble is I'm lazy so did it my own way. Where you getting the grill from? It should come with instructions.
The "proper" way is to remove the inner plastic from the bumper cover, you know the vertical pieces that the splitter hooks to and then use the supplied brackets and screws to install. I ended up just breaking away all the inner plastic, using the supplied brackets but drilling my own holes in them and installed using stainless steel screws (won't rust). Been that way for three years and still looks new. I bought the Mina Gallery lower grill and I'm sure the instructions were supplied. You can always call them rather than doing it my way.

jim.logan, this is what I purchased from Mina Gallery, http://www.minagallery.com/jagxp/Jag...sh%20grill.htm
I chose to buy the assembly and spend the extra buck so that way you don't have to modify your factory assembly. Just a simple factory grill removal via a few screws and putting on the new assembly using the same screws.
If you choose to go the less expensive route, you would have to cut out your factory grill and cut off a piece of your assembly in order for the mesh to fit in. Which sometimes ends up being more money if you make a mistake or take it to a mechanic to do so.
I am very happy with my purchase of the full assembly.
For the bottom grill its a different story. If you are mechanic savy in some ways, than it might be fun for you.
For myself, I have no clue when it comes to DIY projects, at least most of them, so I had to take it to my mechanic and they removed the whole bottom bumper and removed the factory splitter by sanding off some screw that was holding it in place to the bumper. Looked confusing to me.
Anyways, let us know what you decide to do and post a picture whenever you get it done
P.S. - The combo cost me $419.99
