UCF20 Grille Retrofit into my UCF10
First off let me say, this was a *****! I had to chop both sides off with a band saw I had and massage it into the '92 grille bezel. Turned out ok, you cant really tell its modified unless you look very closely at it.
Top is the UCF10, bottom is the UCF20
Middle is the UCF20 Grille with the UCF10 Bezel. Bottom is the UCF20 Bezel
The Grille fins stick out the same amount as the stock UCF10 one does. You can determine how much you want it to stick out when you cut the ends though, I cut it so that it kind of blends into the bezel, like how it is with the stock grille.
BTW, if anyone is wondering how the grille is attached to the bezel, on the back of the stock grilles there are 2 L brackets that bolt the grille to the hood. My grille is literally sandwiched between the L brackets and the Bezel, so its very snug.
For the stock UCF10 hood latch lever to work, you need to shave down a little lip on the back of the UCF20 grille. Youll see where you have to shave it, its not hard at all. Not sure if the UCF20 handle will work, my grille didnt come with it

Hey whats up guys, Sorry I havent replied, I totally forgot I even made this post here lol (im usually on vipstylecars).
I measured 4 times and then cut actually!
Chubby: Yea thats me, im seriously DYING to put my freakin wheels on!!! Ive waited FOREVER to get my damn JIC's. The first deal I got screwed on, ended up reversing the charges on my credit card to get my money back. So now I bought them through another source and gotta wait til the JIC container arrives mid December =( But yea, Im down for a meet up! Give me some time though, I have a feeling the JIC's will come in late
