How to Install E & G Fine Mesh Upper Overlay Grilles - Chrome (14-15 Silverado 1500) on your Chevy Silverado

1. Apply flat or semi-gloss black paint to the supplied mounting screws and allow to dry. 

2. For LT and LTZ models with silver or chrome factory grille inserts: Apply masking tape to the chromed openings of the factory grilles as shown. Scuff the factory grille inserts with a scotch brite pad or extra line sand paper. Apply flat black paint to the factory center sections to help conceal the factory grille once the E&G mesh grille has been installed. Once the paint is dry, re move the tape.

3. Align the grille assemblies into place and use enough wide masking tape to hold them in place for the following hardware installation.

5. Carefullyy align the supplied 4-way mesh retainers and install the supplied # 4 x 3/4- screws painted in step 1 through the centers of the thickest parts of the factory grille insert. You can use a 1/16- drill bit to drill the mounting holes or allow the screws to self-tap into the factory grille inserts.
