i thought it was pretty straight forward, have to do some cutting, little by little so you can get a good fit, and what i did was used rivets.

Pretty straight forward really. Cut out the center bar...if something's in the way, trim it out some more. Leave as much of the outside edge as possible. Scuff up the paint a bit and then wipe down with alcohol. Apply with double sided tape. Enjoy your new pony

If this has been answered before, my apologies...anyways I want to install a cobra grille insert on an lx, are you saying just cut out the center bar and it should pop in? Are there any alighnment issues? What about the tape? Is there a special bodyshop grade of tape to use?

Lastly, is the 'template' everyone refers to for gt bumpers only?

Thanks and if there is a thread with pics please point the way...
