In the kit was this:



This was the supplies needed as well in the picture.

The kit came with the mesh grille inserts, the pre-stuck anchors , and the plastic Ty-wraps. I did take off all of the cheapo foam sticky pads and replaced them with heavy duty 3-M double sided Heavy Duty sticky tape.






Then the install, and finished product:










Now it looks much nicer and finished in the front grille area, I think it goes well with the Stainless Bumpers

Thanks for the tip about Ebay. I like it, and it's a good price.

You might want some paint on that unless it is stainless. I have the same looking material but it is just galvanized and will rust, especialy around salt.

Yep, did my mod from items I picked up at Home Depot for cheap! All in all it cost me about $22 and an hour or so of work. Easy and cool mod! I can't tell you how many bugs have met their match that could have wound up in my radiator! Rocks too!

Thanks to whomever came up with this!

You're going to want to slide your hand from the left to the right, and that latch will shift to the right and unlock itself to release the hood.
