buy them both. put one set on, if you like it then return the other set. if not, switch em and return the other. 30 day money back with figure. or just get the gloss.

not threadjacking but do you really have to take the bumper off to install top and bottom grill? I guess I could do top grill without moving it but not sure about bottom part.

LOL that's all on the body shop. I warned them about that. I even printed out a thread about it for them for reference. I wasn't touching that with a 10 foot stick.

why wouldnt you take the bumper off? it literally takes 10 minutes, and makes install SO much easier.

and yeah, make sure you inspect that lip when you get it back. my buddy scratched his up good when installing his grillcraft because the space was so tight.

i just installed top and bottom figure grills today actually. if i knew how to take off my bumper and had the tools to do so, i would have. it took me probably about an hour and half for the whole job (including running around trying to find the right screwdrivers, figuring out where to drill the holes, not to mention the dang zip ties...) the lower grill is hard to get to as well. i still managed just fine without taking the bumper off though.

yeah you have to drill holes but no worries, i didn't remove my front bumper simply because i was lazy BUT i did have to remove the Lip...anyways make sure you do the bottom grille first because it's easier to get a hold of when your top grille is off as well...i found out the hard way
