Hi ES owners


I want to replace my front grill cause it has a bunch of rock chips and just doent look very nice.


Has anyone replaced their grill before? Is it very difficult, and what kind of tools with I require.

It's very simple to replace. Seven or 8 hex screws if I recall. Five minute job.

As for rock chips on the black non-chromed areas, I touched up mine with a black Sharpie. Not perfect, but it looks much better and I can't tell from a distance.
