Remove all the screws and the badge and then wrestle the whole piece out. The plastic piece at the bottom with the 2 screws and 2 clips can come out first. The three poppers at the top are weird in that you push in that little circle and it pops out. I also enlarged all of the holes on the new grille. Word of advice - Do this before you paint it. Mine is still good but it made me nervous as hell drilling out those top intercooler scoop holes, waiting for the paint to chip. Hoping to cut tonight or Friday.

Use clear fingernail polish on the edges of the holes you drilled. Sometimes it stops the edges from lifting and chipping.

gap is too big between bonnet for this grill to look any good IMO. Can see too much metal behind it.. But good effort.

Why bump a month old thread with your opinion? He did it and the thread died. So let it be.
