And I do plan on painting the entire grill black this weekend. The paint I had didnt match the black perfectly on the grill so im getting the matching paint to do that. I still have to get some better pictures but im still without the camera.

Yea mine barely fit also. Had less than 1" of clearance haha. It should fit in a standard size oven, just gotta find the right angle before you turn the heat on haha.

Don't attempt, Just do it. It's a really time consuming mod.

Yea, this will take some time if you want a quality job. I started this friday night at about 8 with removal of the bumper. Which took me about 15 mins only because ive done it before...but the first time it took me nearly an hour. I started at 6 am saturday morning and finally began putting the lights back together at about 4 pm, and was done completely with the car by a little after 6 pm. Set aside a day where you wont need your car. Also you have to consider where youre going to be doing this. I chose to do mine inside my house to keep any contaminants out the paint and to keep the humidity and air temperature out of the picture, seein as how high humidity can wreack havoc while trying to paint. Its def a time consuming thing haha.....but like i said, if youre **** about the work being done like i am....you absolutely must be take your time and be meticulous
