hi, what's not for you? the color of the ports or just the port themselves?

thanks

Lupe, did u add the adhesive directly onto the port going into the bumper and then slide the flange over it? Im just a little confused as to how to apply the adhesive. I was going to glue the ports directly to the bumper, but realized after reading this thread that it wont work due to the bumper being a different material.

Thanks man for the informative thread!

hello, i put the adhesive on the flange only, so what you are "gluing" is the flange to the port. not the port to the bumper. hope this helps

I like the look of the 2nd pic that sets it up better. IMO

Fabricated a couple of grilles, will secure them with foil-backed adhesive tape.

not a problem your welcome.

Well duh on the clamps....they never occurred to me!!

I am VERY anxious to see pics of your installed grilles!
