Default Billit grille install

People with billit grilles, when you installed it did you use the supplied screws, or did you bolt it from the back, or just automotive adhesive?

I plan to just screw it in with the supplied screws, but wanted to check to make sure.

I just used the screws supplied. I did them manually and not electric so I could tell if they were about to strip.

The billet grill on my old car used rivets. What I did was probably overkill but I took off the entire bumper cover and rivited it on from behind. Solid as a rock.

I like to remove my grill to clean it (and clean behind it) so when I took my front clip off to have it painted I epoxied a nut and washer behind each hole. Now I use machine screws to hold it on and I don't have to worry about the screws puling through (which they were starting to do):

Well I got mine on. Got some 69 style lights to use as fog lights behind the grille and put the grille on with supplied screws. I was going to take pictures, but my camera died. Pictures to come.

I still need to paint behind the grille area black, I just ran out of time for the day.
