There are 4 nipples on the end of the mesh. There should be four of these clips that hold the mesh on after you put it in place. It is VERY easy.

OO LA LA NIPPLES! loll im just kidding but ya hes right its reallly easy to install the grill. But if you have that black protection housing behind the grill you have to either remove that or get around it.

my lower grille is held together by 8 clips, two on each side. the nipples are on the bumper and the grille had mounting holes that the nips went through. put on clips, done. removing the clips from the original grille might be a pain. careful not to rip the nips.

Thanks guys. Already gotten it taken care of. Put it on this afternoon. Took awhile cuz the original grill was held on by some kind of silicone glue, looked like someone cut it out or cracked it and put it back on. But anyway the new mesh grill is on. will post of pics of it later.
