Just a simple question for a noob haha.
How do you remove the factory black grill?
And how do you install a new aftermarket grill ? (like the silver mesh kind)

any response is appreciated. :) thanks guys.

Removal - three bolts with the hood popped, then two clips on the inside, and some elbow grease.

New grill - If its not OEM, probably alot of zip-ties.

use a ratchet with a 10mm socket. after the bolts are removed, tilt your head so you are looking at the bottom of the grill from the inside (engine bay looking out).

you'll see 2 clips at the bottom of the grill. gently push them up and pull the grill out. again...use some force!
