^ what he said, I pulled my grille out a few times before, its pretty easy. Just don't pull hard or you'll snap the tabs.

you gotta drill ur own holes for that grill... i have the same one... i havent put it on yet... still debating.. i had it up for sale, but no one wants it so i guess i'll keep it and try to put it on when i get my car back

sorry to tell you this but you just bought the crappiest grill you can ever find I know this 'cause I have the same one. You'll be basically using 3m double sided tape to install it and also you'll have to drill your own holes. I recommend that you first tape it on so it's snug and then you put it on your car and then drill your holes to make the tabs or whatevers fit. I hope you get a well made grill. All the grills from ebay seem to be a little.... shady....

Check NELOC forums, for a better response for local help. You dont have to take it to a shop. I'd help since im in NY, but i never put one of these grilles in before it would be a lot of trial and error lol.

Ok so i put it in over the weekend with help from my buddy ray, or rather me helping him.

Anyway i like how it looks, if you dont thats cool. My girlfriend doesnt like it, i smacked that ***** up. She still does not like it though, so she bleeds daily.

It was pretty simple to change the grille out. Harder to get to the headlamps than the grille.

I didnt take pictures of the process, i can open the hood if someone needs to see exactly how it screws in.

And yes as the guy said in a previous post , this is a ****ty grille. I am not looking for 100% perfect and i dont care what others think, i did this for me..and i like how it looks.

what you see inside the grille is the horn, there is 2, one on each side...but their not lined up the same on both sides, stock.

that grille looks pretty good to me.

you should paint the chrome grille trim black tho. it'll make your front end much more aggressive looking.

im going to wait to do that.

i got smoke tint comming in the mail for Taillight/headlight

so i wanna see how it looks with that first, then if its not too black (i dunno how it can be too black) ill paint it.

when that comes in ill make another update...
