You will have to mod the MCS bumper as well as the aero grill. Here's some links for how-to's:

hey there - im a complete n00b and did the aero grille- its **** easy compared to some of the other DIY projects
Everyoen has a different process for doing this, here are my tips:
- take ur time, measure twice & cut once
- u will need a dremel tool.. otherwise a disc sander or grinder will do
- dont drill new holes into the bumper, just cut the aero grille and stick it on instead.. will save u time and hassles
- use a highlighter and highlight the inside of the aero grille edges from the inside out.. this will help u cut the grille straight and the thickness of the highlighter tip is about right.
- keep what ever tabs on the aero grille that fit onto the holes already there on the bumper, cutt the rest off.
Good luck
