Just installed mine...is it me or is there more of a gap between the hood and the grille now? It seemed like I couldn't force the grilled all the way in or something and the plastic piece under the hood that goes over everything that covers the grille doesn't slide in under the grille anymore. Normal or is my OCD kicking in? Hahah...I need to get a pic probably...but anyways, this didn't take me that long at all. It seemed like a long time but probably only like 35-45 minutes or so. Just a tip, becareful when you pop the little clips, if they come flying off then they could fall into some dark, unknown and cramped space. I spent forever digging one of mine out after it did that..and when trying to find the right socket for the wrench, a good idea to go ahead and connect it to the wrench itself cause if you drop the socket then you'll be digging around some more....like I did, lol.
