Anyone else with a Carriage Works billet grille? Help needed...
I got mine in today, top piece and main grille piece went on fine. Then I got to the bumper inserts. First off, they left the 6 flat brackets out of the mounting hardware. I went to Lowes and got some just flat metal pieces and drilled holes in them to replace them. I then tried to mount them and I just cant get them mounted. when I screw the brackets on to "squeeze" the plastic, it screws up the angle and the grille wont go on correctly. After about an hour of trying I finally gave up. Anybody have any tips? I think the mounting design is flawed personally, but maybe thats just cause I couldnt get it to work. Im gonna email carriage works and attempt to get them to send the 6 correct brackets as maybe thatll help but I dont see how. Anyway, sorry for the rant, just looking for some help. Ill get pics tomorrow whether i can get the bumper pieces mounted or not.
