the bottom was easier for me, I installed it by myself.
I kinda mess up on the upper grill, the hole i drill was too far out.
I wish i have a friend to hold that bumper down while i was drilling hole.

You have to drill for the FIG grilles (and Johnny Designz FIG knockoffs).

But not for VRD or some others. That's why I was asking which he has.

^ Yup, those are typically much easier. I would DEFINITELY recommend removing the bumper for FIG or JD.

I would say remove the bumper... they seem to be very similar to FIG/JD.

ya i went the VRD route and took off the bumper, i was also doing something else that required the bumper off, but i would have taken it off anyway, made it easier.
