Default FIG Grille

does anyone have a fig grille DIY or maybe someone can just help me out. i have an 08 tc which everyone knows the grills are different. the instrution manual for the fig grille is made for the older style honey comb grille which has screws in the back of it. the 08 only has tabs. any help would be nice

the tabs should just pop right out. if i remember right my 06 was just held in with tabs too, is the lower grille that's screwed in.

DIY is a piece of cake, just pop that grille out and tap yourself a few holes with a small drill bit and zip-tie away!

yeah, bumper off..... it takes 10 minutes maybe. i think there are like 8 10 mm bolts holding it in. use the search bar, i know there is a decent HOW TO on this site for removing the bumper. it makes life so much easier taking it off, and yeah, the lower ones can be a pain if the bumper is still on the car

Just go my Flat Black ones in yesterday (non-oem fog), got my bumper vent fog lights in today. (dont want to call them by the other name as i didnt buy it form them and only paid $90 shipped) Both still not install as I dont have my car back yet. Had the driver side door replaced cuz my broken "catch strap" (shop guy called it that) mangled my window track.

Nothing makes you miss your car like getting new stuff in and not having it back yet should get it later today tho.
