So far I removed the front bumper and spent an hour or so wiping everything down before M-Tech reassembly. Because my kit didn't come with additional pieces for fitment around the radiator, I'm assuming that the stock bumper air shrouds to the left, right, top, and bottom are used with the M-Tech kit??

I'm done for the night. More to come tomorrow evening or the weekend!
