I put the BC2 front bumper on, but then thought id put the stock grille insert but wit that i close the hood and it dont latch all the way, do i need to get the aftermarket grille insert cuz of the BC2 front i got? just need some info thanks.
 
Are you trying to use a stock ES grill or a stock MSP grill?

I dont know, I think Bobby has a stock ES grill with his BC2....

Or you could always go grill-less...

i kinda want the grille on there, reason is i put my car in shows dont really want to have a big gap just there, im using the stock ES grille by the way.
 
I just checked with him and he said he has the stock ES grill and had no problems, im beginning to think its your hood and not the grill thats the problem.

i was thinkin that also bro, cuz my hood dont set right, unles i have the latch off, with it off it sets perfect, but wit it on the right side sits higher, im thinkin about just gettin hood pins and taken out the latch.

That might be better, unless you can get the latch to sit right somehow.

yea, i lowered the latch, but aint much to work wit, but it didnt lock all the way when i did that. so im just gonna get the pins, and see how that works, wich it should though.
