This thread (a couple below yours shows how the billet grilles mount. 4 screws through the front. https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearance-detailing/348241-tinted-windows-black-stull-grille-installed.html
SLP grills use pine cone connectors around the top and inside the openings, or alot of people apparently use double sided tape. The others I don't know, but are likely very similar.

I have the black powdercoated grill from Stull. Very easy install. Pulled the stocker off, set the new one in, leveled it up, drilled the pilot hole and attached with 4 screws. I also painted the styrofome (sp?) pieces black. Once you pull the stocker off you will see what I mean.

Check my sig, I have a silver Stull Grille. I got if from Speed Inc for $90 I think. Before I put it on I spray painted the area behind the grille flat black it looks better that way IMO.

WOW! That looks flat out awesome. I dont want to hijack this but did you paint the area behind the grille at all? I have a black Z and have been interested in this grille for a while now but I have never seen one on a black Z in real life.
