Today we installed the Paramount Grille. This is the 8 mm version.



Here are some pictures of the Carriage Works bolt over grille that was on the truck.





At this time Paramount did not offer any inserts for the valance. I was undecided how this was going to look but was happy with the outcome.

It really looks good to me.









When installing you need to start inside and work out. Slowly "draw" the grill into place and tighten the very end "last". Keep an eye on it for fitment.

I would also recommend using the factory nuts with collars. I did. It draws the grille more evenly.

This picture shows the bolts supplied but I changed them out after the picture. Please note this procedure MM.

.

In closing I love the grille. The absence of the "eyebrow" is much cleaner. The 8 mm grille along with the Carriage Works valance grille looks good. I did leave the clear bug shield off.

Now I have two of them sitting around.

Looks good, I'm tempted. Are the 4 and 8 mm both the same price?

Awesome bro! Looks sweet! Thanks for the tip on the install..Should have mine back from the body shop next week sometime.

Couldn't tell you. The 4 mm was out of stock so I bought the 8 mm. They had a $25.00 off for Holloween so I jumped.

They will be on sale again.

The top center seems to sit high. If you start inside and work out on the top it will draw down. Go slow and keep an eye on it. Use the factory nuts with collars MM.

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.
