zero tabs broken. Quite proud of that but having said that i did get to that point where i was just ready to snap the grills out of place. some of the tabs were a bi*ch to get off.

Looks real good! I'm not far behind on doing this also, but carbon fiber instead. But before I can get that done, I need to get my bumper refinished.

Do some of you guys who have the black grills paint the original ones you had? If so, please provide details.
