id say dark sliver, almost anthracite or blue for the grille... dont do black, if you do black, why bother?

to install it, you get real damn comfey and sit there and try to make that ***** fit perfectly. but yea, remove entire grille from hood and unscrew everything, theres like 20 screws on the back of that thing...

nope didnt remove it. FL does not require front plates, and this is a full Florida car so its never had a front plate. even if they did require front plates, i would'nt do it. **** that.

got the mesh from home depot. its gutter guard. comes in packs of 6 sheets. dont remember who makes it tho....

the lower center piece is held by 2 cable ties painted silver, one tie on each end. the left and right sides are... umm.. well when you cut the thing to fit, the edges become sharp. so its cut just right so the edges dig in to the black plastic and that keep them secured very well.
