Just got mine installed, and I also had a bit of drama with those damn pop clips but was all good eventually, even though i did have 1 left over :? but it seems to look alright, now to get the front bar and lip painted... will try get some pics up soon, thanks to tek for chasing up with toll, and for pointing me in the right direction to install it. And thanks to Rob aswell look forward to seeing what you got coming next.

Someone on here mentioned to not paint it as it will easily cop chips and scratches. Personally I like the matte black finish when unpainted. Just rub it with rubber + plastic conditioner once in a while if you want that really deep black colour.

I think he's confusing your grill, with my lip :)

Here's some pics of my lip installed. Looks great.

It fitted to all the factory locations no worries. I didn't use any of the bolts/screws/clips provided. I used some short tech screws i had lying around. Tek had some concerns tech screws wouldn't 'grip' enough, but i found them to be very solid and was much easier to install without taking the bumper off (even though i had a hoist!!) :beach:

The ridge that has been talked about it quite obvious (Rob i'm not complaining, but you sound like you are after constructive feedback). There is no way of pulling it further under the car so you don't see it, but if you do have some way of flattening it off from the factory i'm sure future customers of yours would be appreciative of that - but you do have to look closely to see it, so its no biggy. See pics below.
