Bought the cosmetic package; am I missing a piece?

Everything snapped in just fine. But the side grills didn't come with that big black plastic piece that fits in the hole; when I tried to take it off the factory piece it damn near broke. What am I missing here? Was I supposed to transpose the piece off the factory piece onto my aftermarket side pieces???

Yes, you need to put your stock pieces onto the new ones.

I'm an idiot. Didnt unscrew the torx bolt.

I still think the piece will break but I've got no choice.

You should be able to do it without breaking it.

Yea, it just had to bend more than I wanted it to. Got it to work.
