These are the instructions I found to do it: http://www.rgsportshop.com/image/dat...Grill_Trim.pdf Not sure if it can be done without removing the wheels? This is probably easier than removing the front bumper. |

I removed the 2 rivets and 3 screws on the fender flare and maybe another 2 screws on the fender liner. I then released the tabs to pull the fender flare out (probably 4 or 5 tabs). Then I pulled the fender liner back and pushed it behind the tire so it stayed open. Then I removed the plastic panel on the underside of the car. This gave me access from the bottom and also from through where the fender liner was pushed back. It wasn't fun but after getting one side done the 2nd side was pretty quick. If I had car ramps at the front it would have been better.

Thanks for the complements! I wanted to do that mod as as soon as I got the car. I can't stand the blank plastic they are putting in cars now. It's bad design. It's like the back of the honda civic. What is that crap?

Couldn't stand it. I don't understand why they put a grill that doesn't even looks like a grill. Luckily after digging around the parts catalog, I found the half opening, which is much better than the fake grill. Some argue what is the benefit of the open grill. The ultimate answer is, to Make Grill Great Again!!!.
