Default Installing Auto Technica Chrome Grill

Hello All,
Does anyone know how to install this grill or have directions on how to install. Bought from Cruising Laney he says it doesn't come with directions. Well I'm afraid I'll break it without directions. Ok any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Bottom is a really good and easy fit, it just snaps right in. The top on the other hand is a bit harder. It has built in clips that attach to you OEM grill. I would suggest for ease of application that you remove the OEM grill and install that way. ( only 4 screws on top that hold it in then lift.) I have a bit of "play " in the points of mine and plan to put some 3m tape there but you can see how yours fits firts.

Any problems give me a shout and I will see what I can do to help

Thanks,
I thought it taped on. Not sure why you need the cleaner thats with it if it doesn't tape on. Or whatever that little tube is. For a mechanic I'm being pretty dizzy headed but its a nice car and a nice grill just don't wanna mess it up.

Default autotecnica grill install

The top grill pos on with 6 clips that are already on the grill. Just push hard and they will snap over the existing gril. The lower is the sam but the very bottom sticks on with tape thats already applied. If the tape won't stick, its due to temperature as with all 3M tape. You then would need the adhesive primer by 3M to help it adhere. Good Luck! Bill @ Race and Street

Assemble jet engines for a living and couldn't figure that out. Sorry thanks for the info. Maybe ya'll should stay off the 777's for a while I think one or a dozen or so are out there I've built.

Have it on mine. Had to add extra 3m tape for lower grille but upper one just snaps in place. I also got from Laney. Great product.

That's a real comfortable thought.
