Quick question for everyone

I bought a billet grill insert (used). Know I know removing the old one is pretty much just yank the old one out? but what will I need to install billet with? What bolts/screws (size) if someone could enlighten me as to what to use? I would really be grateful.
Thanks for your time.

When I bought my car it had a billet grille. It was just attached to the factory grille with long metal screws. It was the first thing I changed when the car came home. Shitcanned it ASAP.

Mine had long screws and like a barrel spacer. Also,, I shitcanned it. They just don't seem to fill the area in right.

I had a 6LE one on my Z28. It just came with some screws. I taped the grille up in place, drilled pilot holes and screwed it in.

Use a 69 Chevelle grille bowtie. They come blue but you can paint them any color.
