How did u get it to fit so well. I just picked one up from nextmod and it fits well, but not as well as yours. It seems the sides are not as tight to the front bumper as I would like. Did u have to use a heat gun?

nice fit, where did you get it? This was how mine fit when i cut the tabs off, mind you i got this 2 years ago so its probably a different shaped grill

joe i think you only need to cut the tabs off if you have an 07+ because of our bumpers, but I believe i cut off the two lower tabs on the back

oh okay, thanks. I will look at my tabs and see how it will effect it if i do cut them off.
