Default L-Tuned Grille Installation?

I recently bought an L-Tuned Grille, and I noticed I don't have any idea how it replaces the stock grille.. does someone have pics of their grille installed? The backside of the grille, not the front. There seems to be some bolts holding the stock grille in place, but on the L-Tuned Grille I don't see any drilled holes for bolts to go.. so I don't have the slightest idea how to put it in...

it just bolts in like the stocker. take off the 10mm bolts around the perimeter and the two bolts 10mm bolts that hold the hood latch release to the grill. it should be real simple unless your l-tune is missing the bracket for hood release.

Mine didn't come with the bolts like the factory one. It actually had molded threads. I had to go to Home Depot and buy some screws and washers. There are tabs on the hood that you can attach the grill to.
Definitely not Rocket Science

Kharizma, I thought you bought the L Sportline grill. is your Ltned grill new or did you get from soe ne that that had it installed?
YOu should have 5 studsin the grill that you add nut to to install it ( see pic.
When a few place s were closing out otf the L-tuned kits, somr grills were sold w/o hood latch or mounting studs.
Mine came w//o studs. I went to Loews hardware store and bought set srews size M5x .80 5/8" long. put some lock-tite on the scre and useed an allen wrench to tighten them
