Default JP Grille insert Installation help

I was told there's a diy for the installation of the Junction Produce insert into an OEM grille however after days of searching I can't seem to find the thread. Can anyone help or provide any info please!?!

Wow, amazing that a grille that expensive and that nicely fabricated comes with a hacked up plastic OEM frame from JP. Not what I expected.

The jp grill insert actually looks like it was fabricated to specifically fit into the oem surround.
The oem grill is a pretty sturdy plastic and if the cutting and trimming is done right, the result will come out beautiful

The billet grille itself is beautiful. But based on the pictures in that thread, the cutting and trimming is pretty sloppy. It's over $1,000, nothing about it should be even slightly sketchy.
