Actually right now, it has no screws in it at all, I was planning on pulling it out to primer the bumper, but had to leave it in because it fit so tight I didnt dare try to pull it out. Im gonna see how it holws up with no screws tomorrow when I go to work, if it needs em Ill put em in, I already have them painted. Also gonna try to get away with putting the front plate in the window, if I get pulled over Ill put it back on the front.

Heat expanded metal, got a sheet 14 inch by 48 inch for 5 bucks at a local sheet metal shop. Beat the online prices ranging from 20-60 bucks for the same size, before shipping.
