ShortBus Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 Well after being back ordered for 2 monthes my inserts arrived today. I'm mechanically inclined but I'll be damned if I can figure out how these clips work. Anyone have on on that could shed a little light on it for me? The directions were crap and a picture to me is worth a 1000 words.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lefty Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 Be very careful with those clips, they will scratch the hell out of your truck if you're not! The bulged side goes toward the grille opening, through to the speed grill. The flat(er) side goes up/down away from the grill opening. Place the clip so that the barbs are positioned over two openings on the speed grill and over a cross-section. The let the baby lay down on the grille surround and dig in. Make damed sure you let go exactly where you want it to be. It looks real flimsy, but they will stay. Hope I didn't confuse things more than they already are. Here's a pic that shows one of the clips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you attach it from the back? the open end catches on the grill or other way around? Closer picture would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwarren Posted October 2, 2004 Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 Congratulations on finally getting your grille. I hope like hell that mine comes soon or I am going to go crazy. The main grille (nice and polished) is a great kitchen piece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackySS13 Posted October 2, 2004 Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 I would think for being mechanically inclined, you'd be able to figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not happy with the way the ones fit but I know it's the right one. it's not a cut and dry install. Thank you for stepping up and being "helpful" though.

Dylan06SS Posted October 2, 2004 Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 seeing the "quality" of the design and how it installs is making me re-think my choice of grill . . . . . . maybe I'll keep shopping before buying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flash2003 Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 seeing the "quality" of the design and how it installs is making me re-think my choice of grill . . . . . . maybe I'll keep shopping before buying. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I wanted that same grill too but got tired of hearing next month and this started in March I went with a Trenz billet grill, all 5 pieces 300.00 I put it in in 1/2 hour and all i had to do is put some masking tape on the side edges of the grill and install. This grill has a little weight to it so i installed all hardware . I am happy with the grill so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_a_n_payne Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 Do you think you could take your factory grilles out and still be able to instal your Trenz? Thats the only way I will buy a grille. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 Trenz makes 2 different types, Cut-Out & Bolt Over. My neighbor has the Trenz cut-out style in polished and it looks a lot better than the bolt over. Carriage works also makes a nice cut-out style.
