The new clips do NOT fit into the old grille's holes like the instructions say; they fit in the holes that are right next to the ones the stock bolts were mounted through, and the clip to the right-hand side must be crooked to line up with the stud.. I didn't like that at all myself.

Also, make sure you only thread the studs into the grille as far as necessary, so they are flush with the outside of the holes. Otherwise when you tighten the nuts, the studs will inadvertently end up sticking out, and are visible when looking at the grille from the front, and it really sucks to have to loosen everything to correct it.

To make it look nice you will probably have to bend back several of the tips of the bars which tend to form a V during shipping so that they are evenly spaced.. be careful when doing this to the lower bars as they do not fit perfectly (slightly too wide) and will scratch the inside of the cutout in your hood.
