Default billet grille install

I am going to install a billet grille this weekend on my GMC Sierra. Does anybody know of a link to a "how to" for this project or is there anything I should watchout for?

Mine was simple. I followed the directions that came with. Only advice is if you have to drill holes: measure twice, drill once. And obvious things like making sure the grilles line up with eachother. Least it should have been obvious but i messed that up the first time.

Is your grille a bolt-over or an insert? All you really have to do for an insert is cut the old insert out and screw the billet in. Did your grille not come with instructions?

It's an insert and it did come with instructions. I have never done one of these and was just wondering if there is anything to watchout for.
The Bandit Z, pm your number just in case I get stuck or something.
