Tighten the lower outside bracket nuts last. When removing the hood latch from the stock grille you only use the bracket that has the bolts.

Coolness! Really appreciate the tips.

What are your thoughts on the 8 mm with the lower valance being smaller? Doesn't look too bad eh?

I'm sure the next thing will be paint.

It really does not look that bad..I could live with it for sure...What a big improvement over the stocker with no brow on top of the grill. People say that Toyota puts that there so when closing the hood, you will have place to put your hand at. Whatever! LOL

I also wish the grill would stay in place and not be attached to the hood. I hate that when cars/trucks have the grills attached to them. Gets in the way of your head when trying to access the engine bay..And of course my biggest complaint is that it looks so dorky when at a show with your hood popped open!

Yeah, it's an ok..ok kind of thing. If anything thicker was in the valance I think it would look worse.

I have also thought of painting them flat black so as to blend in the valance.

Will see.

Flat black would be a good idea..I keep thinking of one day in the future having the upper/lower billets powdercoasted black too.
