alright cuz when i tried to fit mine, my horn was in the way. also do u think self tapering screws with washers would work instead of bolts and nuts... or did u somehow get the bolts to go in without a nut?

(haha go in without a nut)

the bolt with the really big washer went into the stock location which is a nut. the others i just drilled a new hole and used a bolt with nut. as i always do. i cant stand the thought of driving or dragging down the road and worrying if something is going to come loose or even fall out/off. i use bolts with nyloc nuts on just about everything

ok i can understand drilling new holes for the headlights to mount. but what about the grill shell? im what did you do to make the tabs mount to the core support? if you wouldnt mind taking some pics of that for me it would be much appreciated.

i didnt do anything to make them fit (grille tabs) i used all the stock ones except for the passenger side at the headlight. if you look at the pics ive posted it shows you which one i didnt use! and the nyloc nuts have that plastic inside the nut that keeps it from backing off. you can get them at any hardware store and any auto parts store. ill take more pics later today.
