    So Ive heard numerous ways to install these things.

    The way my buddy wants to do it is cut the core support and recess the headlight buckets.

    I dont think this needs to be done

    For any of you who have a phantom grille or have had a phantom grille HOW DID YOU INSTALL IT dealing with the headlights.

    Another member told me a year ago when I was asking about a recess kit to just take the spacers out of the buckets but there is NO spacers in or on or around my buckets so????

    Thanks, I really dont want to cut my entire core support out to do this as I know it is not necessary but i just dont have a good idea how to go about it

    I will I was going to take my bumper off yesterday but didnt have time, I got to bend it a bit too cause it sticks out too much in the middle and there is an ungodly looking gap between the grill and my hood. Lights are done though.


    BY THE WAY ANYONE LOOKING TOYSTORY92 HAS ONE FOR SALE!!! HIT HIM UP
