the screws are prolly rusted or are spinning in place. Work it a lil bit, one of my screws gave me trouble. Mugen Grille OWNS!

spray some WD-40 on them, wait some time and then come back with the adjustablle wrench |_| and put some man force into it. Or you could use an 8mm? probably 9-10mm socket wrench after the WD and you'll sure get them out

i know what hes talking about.... theres just no way you can turn it i even tried it on my cousins car but hes a little anal f*ck didnt want me "cutting" and shit... you have to just cut it or bend it far up as possible... i tried bending it but didnt work and i figured its on the inside so no one was gona see it anyways... so wat i did was just burn off the little black piece that is in front of the screw where you have the arrows pointing to the picture... and then when you cut it off you can actualy see the screw and nut and just bust that shit open... FROM my experience, theres no way of getting around it, just cut it open dude you dont have anyting to lose its on the inside... let me know if it works

the only reason i haven't installed it yet, is cuz i can't decide if i should keep my stock grill or not, i don't know which looks better on my car.

Also wut screws do u use to install the mugen?

the mesh looks good... just paint it black though cuz the bottom portion is black so the top would look the same... i left mine the stainless steel color and it stood out which i dint want it to do... soo just paint it black... the mesh is gona be custom cut by you and you just have to insert it in front of the black portion thats there but behind the chrome A ... pretty much ur squeezing it in wherever it fits... when you open it up, just use common sense and put it however u like... it will look good
