Anyone bought sport "star" grill on ebay from Red Dog Motorsports?

I guess this is what I get for buying the cheap grill, but the grill arrived today and when I went to install it, I noticed that there is nothing for me to screw into on the grill. The stock grill has these little metal clips to screw into, but the sport grill I received has no such clips, just big holes that the screws go right through. There were no directions in the box (go figure), so if anyone has bought from this company, please let me know what your experience was. If the clips should have been included in the package separately or already on the grill, I need to return this thing. But if I'm supposed to use the clips from the OEM grill, then I need to figure out the best way to get them off and placed on the new grill. Thanks in advance!

You need to use OEM clips - just pull them off the grill - I did it with the help of a screwdriver

I bought some stuff from them for my truck through ebay and it was damaged. They replaced it no problem. If you don't like it, I'm sure they'll take it back or exchange it. Make sure to post pics if you keep it.

Hey Jim,
Went to Autowerks (reswest.com) a month ago to check out their shop and wasn't too impressed. Prices they give there were different (higher) from their web site.
