The day I got it...

Now...

 

nice.

 

Thanks

 

the spots behind the grill are a nice touch.

 

I live in the country, so they come in handy

 

makes sense. If I 4x4 my MGM (yeah... redneck I am) there are definitely going to be some spots on it either behind the grill or on whatever bumper I mount to the added frame reinforcements.

 

I just purchased those same Center Caps for my 2007 Mercury Grand Marquis. My concern for those center caps are the lug nuts. Why couldn't I use the same style lug nuts but for the Mercury Grand Marquis selection? Thanks!
