Question Installation of custom valence mesh grilles?

This question goes out to you mesh installing experts....I did a search on 'mesh' already, but couldn't find something that was detailed how to install a custom valence mesh grille? I keep reading everyone says go to home depot....but how about from there on? How do I cut it to shape it correctly and how do I install it so it's flush?

Thanks so much in advance!

I did this once and its a pain in the ***.. the edges of the mesh are soo sharp i cut my hands all the hell up.. i used the screws that where already in place on the bumper but i guess you could hot glue it or something? i dont know.. be carefull tho the edges will cut you up good!

I got the lower valance grill inserts from Stillen. I got the brushed aluminum to go with my BS coupe.

The little metal clips that come with the kit are crap. I ended up using four black zip ties to attach it to the existing grill behind. If you put them around the edges and cut the extra off after tightening you can't even see them. They hold the grills much better than the clips.
