Billet Grille and Bullitt Fuel Door install ?'s

[CaliLifeStyle]

1.) Billet Grille - I got a Billet Grille from 50resto.com and it requires two holes to be drilled into the bumper. However, I don't want to do that. I did a search and several people just attached the grille using the top screws and no drilling. Do I really have to drill or can I just skip that part and just attach using the top mounts?

2.) Bullitt Fuel Door - Do the stock nuts that hold the stock fuel door be used for the Bullitt one? The Bullitt fuel door only came with screws.

Thanks.

Dunno bout the grille, but the Fuel Door comes with two clamps, and two screws, both installed in the door already. The two screws do absolutely nothing, the clamps are what holds it on.

Thanks for the reply. So the two screws next to the hinge do nothing? I thought they go where the old screws that hold the stock door are?

Never mind about the fuel door, I see now.


Still need the grille question answered.

Took me about 10 seconds of looking at it to figure it out.

Be sure to post some installed pics.

Yeah, I got it now. I used some nuts I had to secure to bolts cuz I didn't like the way the bolts just spun freely. I'll post pics once I put the grille on. I think I might be able to use two way tape to hold the bottom of the grille on instead of drilling. Just a thought.

i had to use two metric nuts (M4) to secure the two fuel door bolts, since the thread size on them was a little smaller than the stock ones.

The top brackets on the grille seem sturdy. I might try to see how it is with bolting the bottom down.

with my billet grille, it used the holes in the bumper that the factory grille used. So i just put the factory clips back on the bumper and screwed/bolted it into place. It was a bit of a pain in the ass, but i got it to work

My grille is made by Precision Grilles. It might be different.
