To those that have a C-Mod grill is yours at times loose? I feel that you can easily pull out mine? Like I got a car wash and the grill seemed a bit out of place so I popped it back it. Granted the little hooks are helping it. Has anyone else had this problem?

had mine on for over a year and no looseness or popping out issues, i agree though, quality is not the greatest.

when i was installing mine, the tabs wouldn't fit into the holes initially. i was just gonna leave it without the tabs in but noticed that it was pretty loose, so i used a dremel to trim the tabs and MAKE it fit. no issues thereafter.

What i did was drill a hole in the tabs (while the grill is installed with the bumper off), the put 1 small screw in each tab to secure the grill. I should of taken pics while i was doing it.
