I had a BEAR of time trying to fit the grills inside the opening. I actually could not get the grills to fit unless I bent them then flattened them out behind the openings, afterwards I had a really difficult time aligning the zipties. After a few tries, lots of little cuts on my hands I gave up. I may try installing them again later.
The installs is definitely not as straightforward as I thought.

UPDATE: I ended using slightly longer zip ties, as I kept losing a grip on these smaller ones and sometimes they would fall out during positioning so I found ones that had a slightly longer and larger, made things much easier to manipulate once I got them in.
everything is all good now
everything is all good now

Put me down for the one with the center radiator. I have ot added it yet but im in florida and its on the list. It would.be really cool if you figured out how to replace that center plastic piece anyway as it looks cheap

Did My Install on my '12 C2S W/O parking Sensor -- went smooth -- just took my time and used plenty of light---
Fitting takes a little time as your trying to move them from the outside and hold it in position while you zip tie but nothing crazy--
I loosely did two of the zip ties while i used a hook-- (Bent piece of wire) to grab it from behind and pull it forward while adjusting position while I tightened the zip ties up and then finished the 3d zip on the fat part of the horizontal bracket-- this one is the hardest bc the zip is barely long enough-- I was going to use a longer zip but got it to work while I was using the hook to pull the screen forward towards me.----
Looks Great and am Very Happy

Eric,
I installed mine today. It looks great. I’m really glad I went with your grills! Please make a Center Grill.
In addition to using longer zip ties, I recommend that you put in a few extra ties as one broke while I was installing it. I’m glad I had a handful of extras at home otherwise I would have had to drive to Home Depot.
Also, I added one extra zip tie on the bottom of the outside edge (ie bottom left corner of grill) as the grill felt a little flimsy with just 3 zip ties especially the bottom left corner.

Thank you for the feedback! Longer cable ties have been added to future production kits! Glad you love the product look!!

Just did my install tonight. Took about 35 minutes and I really took my time, touched up a rock chip, cleaned all surfaces.
I'd say this is towards the "very easy" end of the scale just so long as you're somewhat dexterous.
Great kit, great price and looks fantastic.
