Changing to black grills.....

I was switching out my grills to black but ran into a problem. I have a pre LCI and when I switched out the top part of my grill that i call The eyebrow part it only had 2 screws holes. my original had 3 and the left side had 3 but the right only had 2. WHat's up with that???

It looks like the gold-colored nut fell out.

That piece should have 3 screw holes across, it could have fallen out like Nivedh mentioned. You could try epoxying or using double sided tape in that area.

If it did fall out, I would just move the gold colored piece that's in the middle to the side and install it that way
