Default you are kidding right? you put it in the space in the hood then push metal clips in to hold it in

it's fairly obvious

Default seriously...

just open the hood and look behind the grille, it's self explanatory, the clips hold the grille in, pop the clips out starting from one side and working to the other, then tilt the grille out and pull it off.

Default not sure if it applies for the kamei but....

when putting in the new grille make sure the hood latch lines up with the opening in the grille otherwise it becomes a pain to open the hood.

Default push the tabs from the stock grill towards the inside and when all are off just pull the grille towa

rds u. afterwards, take the plastic rubber and ontour it around the opening should fit perfectly. make sure the pins on the kamei grill are out, place the grill on the opening hood space and push the tabs inwards. u are done now ask mama for a cookie

right. but it fits loose and i understand i need some weather stripping or something? the one the guy gave me with the grill is crap. it wont damage it if i go on bumpy roads and the grill shakes will it? where would i get this new weather stripping or watever to make the gril more snug. thanks
