Illuminated door sill install / Bubbling Grille

Well other than installing my roof and truck spoiler, that's about as far as Ive gone when adding something to my car.
Last December I bought some Illuminated door sills from Ebay and this morning ventured into no mans land.....from what I see you guys do to your cars I'm truly impressed...but you have to start somewhere right?
It took me about an hour and a half from start to finish...I tapped into the lights under my seats for power which turn on when I open the door.I kinda like em.

On another note, my grille seems to be bubbling on the top right hand corner, the car is 2 months out of warranty. When I showed it to the dealer be basically told me to take a hike but would give me a deal on a new grille?
If anyone has one for sale (Distronic) I'm ready to buy.

Thanks

Sills look great. You did a good job. Sorry to see the grill bubble.

Thanks, but that's not a Distronic Grille, I'm also reading posts on this forum and others that it can be hit and miss with aftermarket Distronic grilles...I hate the thought of buying this part at the dealer, but I just may end up having too.

My grill was like that when I got my CPO 2012 back in 2014 - the dealer I purchased it from replaced it. That's a nice looking car however.
