Default Nighthawk Light Brow?

I just won one of these in an online contest and, since it seems to be a new product, there's not a lot of experiential information or instruction available. (I know there are lots of variations already on the market.)

Has anyone here installed one of these? If so, can you clarify whether or not I'll have to remove the grille-top weather stripping? (I've seen online one source saying yes, and another saying no.) Also, how's the fit & finish?

I'd appreciate hearing any perspectives. Thanks!

I installed one of these in about 5 seconds with the undercover rep. We removed the weather stripping. Easy install, Paint match was perfect.

Thanks. It certainly appears to be a very simple setup. The weather stripping question threw me. I thought maybe it was just cut to fit around the factory strip.

He just challenged you. Your goal is to install it within 4 seconds now.
