Default Grille Surround Replacement

Hey guys, I was browsing through Sewell and came across this:

http://is.sewellparts.com/accessorie...2014/6770.html

They paint the chrome grille surround to the color of your liking, which in my opinion seems cleaner than vinyl wrapping it to black, as they have the Obsidian color. The CL price is about $200 so it is not bad if the quality comes out very good.

My question is, how easy it is to remove and replace the grille surround? Is it just popping it off gently and would you need to take the whole bumper off first? Curious to see if anyone tried this.


Thanks!

I e-mailed Sewell about the difficulty of replacing the grille surround, will update once I hear back from them.

Anyone else tried this?

Thanks for that!
