go to home depot and buy they aluminum guter guard. its really cheap and you get way more than enough.
put it behind the spot where you want the grille, most of us put it in the "mouth" of the bumper and in the "nostrils"
make marks where you need to cut and cut out the pieces using sheet metal cutters.
now everyone has a different opinion on how to attach the grills, but i found that using zip ties was pretty easy and holds very well. where there were no holes to put the zip ties i used the sticky backed anchors that work with the zip ties and cleaned the spot and stuck them on there. some other people will tell you to use epoxy or clear calking to glue the guard to the bumper, but i liked the zip tie idea.
you can also paint the grille to whatever color you want. i used that chrome look alike paint because bare aluminum tends to tarnish and look dull. i used this paint and the guard is very shiny. you could also clear coat the paint so that it lasts longer
i hope this is informative and help you add that "custom" look to your car.
