Damn that looks just like the prova one. LOL

Yes it does. Except the Prova one is made to fit the fender without cutting and even with mine so formed there would be interference. Im thinking the Prova one was designed to accommodate the perforated aluminum and thus is less tucked into that fender depression.

The trim is the easy part. Just tape up everything GOOD so if you slip with your dremel or file you don't mark up the paint. I managed to complete the process scuff free.

Using the dremel to cut the fender requires a little more finesse. But again, use some nice thick tape ( i used gorilla tape ) so if the cutting blade does develop a mind of its own you should still be ok. Although I did ding the paint in one spot with the dremels collar that spins with the blade. I wasn't using tape at that point as it was a touch up cut

Fairly easy modification for the most part.

How is everyone cutting grill material to line up with the trim piece?
Tin snips?
Some of the pictures look like the grill material really matches the trim lines well...
Wondering how they got the mesh to fit so well.
