how much did it cost to have the grille painted/installed? and how did you install it ? just 3m tape along the bottom and punch holes in the top to use the old mount clips?

and that is sick! im looking to get either the karuma or the strafespeeed at of now. really clean ride!

I didnt even look at the final cost since the insurance co. paid for it. I'm guessing it was like 60-70 bucks for paint. It only takes a second to pop in so I doubt they'd charge much for install

You put the same mount clips in at the top. The bottom doesnt have anything that secures it so i'm gonna throw some 3M tape on tomorrow.

The bottom of the grill actually snaps into the bumper... Ya know, it really is simple, like you said. Perhaps should've just taken a look before randomly assuming.

Argh... Calamity. I actually completely disregarded whether or not the Karuma bumper had the slots for the grill, so I apologize. I actually don't know if it does or not.

^Thanks.

I'm on stock suspension at the moment. I'm putting in my Tein 350z H-Tech springs hopefully this week though to close the wheel gap a bit.

Thank you sir!

I'm debating whether or not I should put on these 350z H-Techs... in the week or so i've had this bumper i've already managed to scrape the bottom a few times. Pretty sure it scrapes when I back out of my driveway

Would it be smart to make a Home-Depot splitter? Or would simply taping the spots it scrapes help? Suggestions please

The home depot splitter will rip right off.. is get a thin sheet of aluminum and screw it to the bottom and make some brackets to hold the bottom stiff..
