Hello,
Just a small update. So mounting the side grill was a little bit of a challenge. I found some aluminum (rust resisitant, they didn't have stainless steel) L brackets that seem to work out pretty well. They did require some bending but i didnt have a vice grip bench so i had to use two pliers, hence the somewhat poor bends. Still was able to achieve the job, if this was visible, i would do a much more aesthetically pleasing job despite not being visible... like tie strapping the center grill... not this time.

So, step one. Buy some L brackets and bend it accordingly to make sure it mounts to the grill you made. Sand it down with low grit as i had to us JB weld paste to mount it on. Sand down the bumper mounting point with low grit as well. Wipe down with rubbing alcohol after and wear gloves.



2. Do the top. let it dry, mount the bottom, let it dry.


3. Mount the bolts, lock washer should be used in my opinion.


4. Bolt up the nuts and bolts.



5. Make sure it looks fine from up front.
