never seen it up close, I didn't realize it fit snug to the bumper like that. Looks really nice, although I agree with the other poster that I personally wouldn't install the turnbuckles on my own car. I may consider that over the VSV1.

I'm very interested to see how it looks when it's all put back together Haven't seen a Z with the entire front grill cut out yet, that's something I've been wanting to do because it looks so cheap to me

So you have to cut the center of the bumper out, its not held in by another way. I think it looks cheap too, how hard was it to cut out?

A dremel and some patients will get it out pretty easily.

Yep, if you look at the back side of the bumper you can see a mould line you cut along to remove the stock grill. The bumper is not hard to cut at all, a dremel with a cut off wheel would work fine. And I am definitely not the first to do it, FI guys have been doing it for years.

I know, I meant I want to cut it out but I don't have a snazzy intercooler to fit behind it, so I don't know how it will look
