Default JLT bezel install advice

So I bought a set of jlt clear anodized bezel from a member on another site for a good deal... I've read how to do the install with 2 1/4 hole saw.. Just remove the lower air dam etc and it's easy... So here is the question.... Is it really that easy.... I don't want f up my car.... Any pointers and advice is greatly appreciated....

Driver side is easy to get to.

Pass side is harder and you may need either an extension on the holesaw shaft or a short 90 degree drill.

I sure TG can guide you through, not to make you nervous but Mrfarmdog and I talked to guy last weekend who said he went trough 3 grills before getting them to sit flush.

had no issues drillin mine. keep the hole saw straight until completely through the grill (remember, the grill is angled). TG is right also, pass side is a challenge. a 90 degree drill is best, but i used a 90 adapter connected to my drill. some of the pointed edges on the front you may have to snip down. i used a angled wire cutter just to cut the pointed tips back a bit for them to snap in. once their in...they are in.

Did you remove the lower grill to drill the holes or leave it installed?

Originally, w/ the 2.25 size bezel/hoses I drilled from the back through the grill. No need to remove.

W/ my current 3" set-up I had the grill removed already.

I wouldn't remove the grill unless absolutely necessary, the tabs break easily.

Keith - Mike has already got my JLT Brake cooling Kit installed on the car. Next time you go down, you can check it out to see how it looks if you have any questions.

According to Mike, paint is going on this week
