You can install later if need be. Just loosen the control arm bolts, slide the grill mounts in (they are open end slotted) and tighten back up.

I did everything except spray it. She ain't perfect, but she's mine.
It should be noted. They do not look like the manual shows them to look.
You can see mine really well in this photo so you know what you’re looking for.

The upper headlight mounting holes didn't exist on the early builds - that older style is what you see in the manual. The headlights would hit the fenders if mounted on those brackets so FFR redesigned them with two holes so the headlights would clear the fenders in the upper holes. The full fender package wasn't designed when the early kits were built so the problem didn't show up until later when the fender kits started to ship.
The ones in the manual also show the mounting holes where it goes on the a arm bolt to be holes and not slots.

Sorry I am late to this thread, I just got back from a trip to Colorado.
Here is a photo of the grill mounts you are looking for.
