Default Problems with billet grille
my girlfriend (JuicyA) bought a billet grille from Mrgrille. Tried putting it on and it wouldn't fit in the hole. I was even at a car meet tonight and I was like can anyone figure this out? It simply would not fit

Does anyone have this grille? Am I just being retarded?

Hmm...not to insult your intelligence...but just a suggestion: did you pull the stock insert out before attempting to put the billet one on?

haha.. yeah make sure you pull the crappy stock grill off. this is what i did, after i pulled the stock grill off, i put the billet grill on there. then i marked the holes and then just used a drill bit and drilled a hole, and then just screw it in place. billet grill really wakes up the appearance on the car big time!!

Judging by his car in the sig. Looks like the stock grill is already off.

For the OP, you have to drill new holes for you billet grill to secure them w/ the screws.

Ya I know that you have to drill holes lol. And no there is not a stock plastic gay thing. It just does not fit in, there are big gaps. Are you using the mrgrille product 02EBZO6?

Has anyone used mrgrille. How did yours fit. Mine does not, and I am wondering if its just a shitty product, or if I got a bad grille.
