You have now repaired and upgraded!

Review: Good quality and good price - Good quality, heavy, flexible poly/plastic. Very very tight fit. There is no drilling involved, would recommend removing to tape it came with and replace with a better product. There are two tabs at either end, these go underneath the hood clasp. When attaching to hood, slide the lower lip under the front rim of hood, starting from center, press down on guard, working toward either end. Align tabs with holes for clasp screws and reattach the clasps. Looks very good and goes well with the angry bird grill.
Review: NICE LOOKING AND EASY TO INSTALL. . . - Very easy to install - don't want to insult anybody. Those tabs (or ears as I call them) snap right off - no cutting. If you have trouble lining up the holes for the tabs, don't even use them, snap them off and peel the self stick tape. The tape is VERY strong and will have no problem holding this accessory on. Looks great, and believe me will NEVER come off. . .

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Looks good
*by R***T on May 14, 2018*

I only gave this 4 stars because as others have said you have to ream out the holes a little to get the hood latches back on, but it’s really quick and easy to do. Also on real warm days it seems to lift up in a couple spots. It hasn’t been that hot yet, so I hope it doesn’t get worse. If it does I wil take it off and put new tape on it. It sure looks good though
