Got mine today. Super fast to install and looks great.
That being said, anyone else's loose? It's in there but a light rap with the knuckles and it pops out. Concerned that if something hit it while driving, it could easily pop out. More so on the right side than the left, the left takes more effort to pop out. Maybe I just need to bend my upper tabs down a bit to make it more snug.
Reid, you were asking for feedback, any thoughts on changing the mounting bracket a bit to take advantage of the upper holes and using a bolt to mount more securely? It would require the removal of the bread loafs to install it, but would make it more secure. Someone could steal this thing in 2 seconds.
Looks great though!
Edit: bending those tabs down a hair didn't help. In fact it made it easier to pop out. Bend them back up but still pretty loose. It's almost like the crosses at the feet and top of the mounting arms are not tall enough. Mmm. Interested to hear how the rest of yours are sitting in there.

Mine was loose too, but I thought that was from the previous grille insert I had. I put two small rubber bumpers under the black trim piece on both sides, 4 total, to raise the height and shorten the distance for the support rods. This made a big difference and tightened it up.
