OK we need a list of all tools required to remove the stock grille & fogs, and install the SS grille & fogs

Well I got it installed. I'd like to give you a brief review and some things to look for.
First up the grill is a very nice piece and the extensions are a huge plus. It fits snug and has a good stock finish to it. Everything with the grill went together smooth. Two things you should look at before you push it in place. Number one my driver side light would not clear (behind the fog light/plug area). You may drop the lights down enough when installing them in the grill to clear this so check it out!! I cut a notch into the latch support and painted it. It took all of 5 minutes to do, but because I didn't notice it first I had to take it out and reinstall it. The other thing is only for aftermarket hoods. I have the Cervini's Eleanor hood and it is thicker at the front edge under the lip. It barely cleared the lights and may have to be clearanced if it rub's. (CORRECTION Upon futher review it was touching and I had to clearance the hood with two notches and a little paint) I do not feel this will be a problem with a stock hood.
I'd grade it a 90. I'm glad this grill came out because I really like the pronouced (sticking futher out) look of the fogs. It looks awesome and factory. Just make a few inspections before installing it and you'll be a happy individual. By the way some of those inspections could have been in the instructions, but I never look at them
By the way I will get a picture up this weekend after the rain stops.

I installed mine and I ended up useing a allen wrench for the torx lol I didnt have the correct size.
My gril went in easy as pie...i actualy had the lights pluged in. I just had to push down on it some to get it to clear. Fits nice and looks good....perfect fit under the steeda hood.
And some pics....

I found no clearance problems what so ever. I hooked up the extensions and it slid in place like greased lightning,a snug ,perfect, factory-like fit and mine was a production sample.

I noticed last ngiht when trying to aim my driver fog that I cant. I installed the fog so that the bulb socket L's to the passengerside (same direction as the PS fog) and the plug is snugged up to the metel...makes the driver fog shoot much higher than the pasenger one. I have to flip it so it go the other direction I am guessing???

Tri-Bar pony Logo
Gents,
Where is the best place to get a tri-bar pony logo to fit nicely on this grille? It seems as if some people have figured out the best approach. There seem to be some many sizes and types. Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers!!!
