I stuck the 2 prongs through the mesh of the grill from the front and wedged a screw+washer into the holes from behind to secure it onto the grill.

Congrats to you and your wife! When I first put in the springs, the ride was comparable to stock ... you could barely tell the difference. But then I put on 19's with less meat on the tires and now I can feel a little more bumps on the road. It's definitely not bad at all though. I drive my 16 month old son around everyday and its fine. And yes, springs on stock shocks with 58k miles on the shocks already.

Move your license plate to the lower mesh like I did. Looks much better.

Yeah I was thinking of doing that and probably will. I'd rather just take it off in general but the cops in VA are strict. I already got a ticket while parked in a public parking lot.

It dropped the car a little over an inch. As for mods, not really much to it ... H&R Springs, custom grill by kostantinos, front lip and side skirts from ebay, and 19" HFP wheels.
