You don't have to take the bumper off.

Just did this. Wasnt too hard. Only time consuming part was removing the screws behind the chrome grill...I didn't have an extention piece like in the podcast.

[orgasmikksole]

can you update your pictures?

I was really excited to get my first mod under my belt, even if it was super easy. Hey, we all gotta start somewhere, right?.. But either way that youtube video pretty much shows every step, took about 45 mins. And that includes opening the boxes and looking for the right tools.. Here's what mine looks like after my first mod & tints..





Next up, Si sway bars.. Lookin forward to that great handling..

as far as i know it's the same except u just dont need the grille base.. i could be wrong, i have an fa1

[ImAllStock]

Do you guys know what size the 4 nuts are holding down the grill ?

[sc37]

Just installed mine...is it me or is there more of a gap between the hood and the grille now? It seemed like I couldn't force the grilled all the way in or something and the plastic piece under the hood that goes over everything that covers the grille doesn't slide in under the grille anymore. Normal or is my OCD kicking in? Hahah...I need to get a pic probably...but anyways, this didn't take me that long at all. It seemed like a long time but probably only like 35-45 minutes or so. Just a tip, becareful when you pop the little clips, if they come flying off then they could fall into some dark, unknown and cramped space. I spent forever digging one of mine out after it did that..and when trying to find the right socket for the wrench, a good idea to go ahead and connect it to the wrench itself cause if you drop the socket then you'll be digging around some more....like I did, lol.

i have a coupe and i just took my grille off today just to paint the H. im too lazy and its raining and cold to go to the car to get my digi to put up pics but i will post up a few DIY style pics to help.


Tools needed to remove grille:
Flat head
Stubby phillips head
Allen Wrench


Remove 4 button clips on the big plastic piece above the grille with the flat head. two in the front, one on each side on the fenders.

Once you have removed that plastic piece (carefully guide it out from your hood latch)...you will see two allen wrench bolts on the left and right side of the grille.

Remove both allen bolts and pull grille towards you gently. you will see 8 or 9phillips head screws that are holding the grille in (four on left, four on right, and one in the middle, behind the H). This is where you need the stubby phillips head.

Unscrew all screws and then there are two clips holding the grille in, take your flat head and push down gently and tug gently on the grille from the front and it should slide right out.


Same process backwards to put it back on.

Takes a whole 5-7 mins to do. The 8-9 screws are a pain in the ass but be patient and dont pull the bumper out too far.

Hope this helps. LMK if you guys want me to put up pics.
