Install Mesh Grill
I have a 2008 IS250 and don't like chrome at all so I just bought this grill from ebay check it out. I'm thinking about blacking the chrome out to match the new grill.

My question is how do I go about installing it the easiest way please excuse the question for all you pro's out their. I'm used to working on car and I'm sure I would figure it out but I thought it would ask first. I don't want to break something that I will have to replace later. Has anyone ever installed this before and how? Pictures would be great.

to install the grill.. direction is as follows..
- pop the hood
- pull the rubber weather stripping off.. they are held down with a bunch of plastic plugs.. if the plugs come apart from the weather stripping its ok.. just take a pair of needle nose plyers pull them out of the hole on the car.. youll see little holes on the weather stripping.. stick one side of the T bar and strech the rubber until the other side goes in.
- unscrew the center hex bolt
- pop off any plastic screws u see holding down the grill.. to take the plastic screws out.. take ur fingernail and pull the center up.. then pull the whole screw out.
- slide out the chrome trim.. then slide out the grill..
- reverse the process to put it back together..
hope this helps

Is that the matching lower grille you have as well? Also, if I have a black pearl emblem, would I just lay that with the doubled sided tape on top of the L that this grille comes with?

Is there 2 separate ISF grilles, one that can have the emblem removed and the other you cant?
That's what it looks like from the eBay pictures
