You do have to trim your grill at the bottom
Easy though, just cut out small notches where it attatches to the chassis (you'll see, its obvious)
If you have a V8 you might have to relocate your oil cooler upwards about 2"
Again, very simple.
Just drill a couple of new holes and move it up a bit
You can (just) see the small cut outs at the bottom of my grill

 :D

I know it sounds crazy, but for the bottoms of the wings I used a B&Q black paint tray (the ones you use a small roller in) cut it in half length ways, a few self tapers (painted black) and Bobs you uncle, almost a perfect fit!
