ive been reading around the past couple weeks on sL about the vrd grilles. everyone thats posted on them thanks for all your inputs cuz its helping me alot in deciding whether or not to get one. i was just wondering if anyone could provide a picture tutorial for the installation whether it be bumper on or bumper off??

 

u can do it with bumper on

 

You literally push out the old grille and then pop in the new one.

 

its easier with the bumper off, even with it on you don't have much room to work with by undoing the 50 tabs of the old grille.

removing the bumper takes 2mins anyway

 

the grill master "Dakine" doesn't need to remove the bumper.

 

Very easy install. I went ahead and removed the bumper; the whole thing took 20 minutes.

 

removing the bumper is like a right of passage.......go do it......you will feel good for doing it..........

 

Yeah, removing the bumper makes you feel like a real mechanic.

 

I lifted the hood, reached in and took off the top grill, and from the top grill opening I reached in and took off the bottom grill.

than I put in the new bottom grill by reaching in the top opening and than placed the top grill in by reaching in from behind with the hood opened.

there are a lot of sharp object and potential ways to harm yourself if you're not careful.

but I did it that way, because I couldnt justify removing the bumper when I can be done in 5-7 minutes without the hassle and time waste of removing the entire front bumper.

 

Easyiest mod you could do. Just pop the top grille of the prongs and pull it out theresl ike 8 prongs but 2 or three are melted and you just break off. Then just stick you hand threw the top and pop the bottom. Someone on the forums here said to kick the bottom piece. So i got tire of messin with it and tryed it so i kicked it and what do you know it can right out..

 

Is it the same with a 08, im ganna put mine on tomarrow. I hope its not a pain.
