i am installing my l-tuned grill and am running into problems with the secondary hood latch. it seems as if the stock hood latch from the old grill won't fit properly. is this a regular thing or am i just reinstalling it wrong? if i can't figure it out, i'm just gonna do without it.

STONER

did the grill come with the piece to attach the latch mechanism? When I bought mine, it didn't so I had to make one.

rbeermann

it came with the latch base

rbeermann

btw, here are some pics. i think i may have figured out the latch...

rbeermann

the middle bar was shaved off.

not bad. I think it'd look better with an L in the middle.

deadmilenk

I second that opinion Chuckb.

rheiy

I agree, with the middle bar removed, it looks too empty

might as well get the l-sportline grill if you shave the center bar..

rbeermann

i shaved down the stock "L" from the old grill and its ready to be put on. i just need some double sided tape. Putting the L on was the original idea from the beginning.

Stoner and rbeermann did you guys buy your grills new w/o hood latch hardware.??
were you missing this piece?

STONER

I got mine from a former member, and that piece was not included.

rbeermann,
Did you get your grill latched because I have a few latches from when I made mine.

rbeermann

mine came with a hood latch, but stupid me had it on the wrong way. all is good now

OK. the grill looks pretty good you can hardly tell where the center bar was cut.
