Installing Mesh Air Dam Grill
Ok I read the post by Russ about how to install it, but how to you get those ****ing stupid tabs out, I don't have a "special tab remover" as he calls it or whatever that thing is and i can't get those things out for the life of me. Any help would be appreciated.

Don't do it that way, there's a simpler way.
Open your hood and look ahead of the radiator, there's enough space to lower the gutter guard down into the airdam area. If you can, get someone to guide it down for you as you lower it.
Then just attach with the tie straps and finished.

I believe you use those plastic straps and tie them down with where the dam is. There's 4 that you can tie them to.

yes, use FOUR additional plastic strips and tie them near the bottom so it supports the top as well. Just the same thing you did on top, do the same for the bottom. so end up having 8 tied strips together.

installed with hiden zip ties
I did my install and you can't see the zip ties!
I used a cable tie holder (peel and stick on one side and a loop on the other) and stuck them above and below the opening. Then the zip ties are out of sight.
