zip ties are how our grills are held in, other than that, i have NO clue at all with teh trenz...i used black zip ties on my black grill, and they dont show...unless the trenz grill has holes in those tabs where the headlights go, which i think u do, u can just zip tie that to the radiator support...

I have the S5 chrome grill and it wouldn't even fit between the Cefiro's. The tabs were too far apart. I'll have to cut the tabs off, and custom fit it somehow. Currently riding with stock grill.

I talked to tilley about using the stock clips, he's tryed and says it can't be done, just no way to get the secure and lined up properly. He put a long screw thru his stock grille and into the upper tab on the cefiro, this held well, although not very pleasing to look at with the hood up, but it's the best i've seen. As for the billet grille, no idea. My grille is currently zip-tied

Ok I guess since we are all bros here, I will share what I did .I invented a little u shaped bracket that you screw to the metal bar that runs across the front. of the car, I then cut holes it the brackets that the grill could snap into, with this set up the grill is held securely in place and with a little black paint you won’t even know the brackets are there. I will try to post pic's later if you like..

Are u talking about the radiator support brace? If so, you got to it first, I had thought about this, just wasn't sure how to execute it/get time to try and do it. Nice work, get some pics

i've found zip-ties to work the best; since they offer the most amount of workability with the grill when the hood is closed

w/ the trenz, i'd try plumbers tape but in all reality zip ties are going to do the job just fine

parallex, if you need any more tips......holla back
