Step 1
PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE ATTEMPTING
INSTALLATION. The first step of the installation is to remove the factory grille
shell from the vehicle. There are a dozen 10mm nuts holding the grille shell to
the bottom of the hood and a black bracket at the lower part of the grille shell
that need to be removed.
Step 2
Once you have the grille shell removed use masking tape to cover the front of it
to prevent any scratches during installation. The center of the grille shell needs
to be removed. Cut across the to vertical bars near the sides of the grille shell
with a jigsaw. (Fig 1) Leave a little (1/2") of the material on the vertical bar. (Fig
2) Cut the cross hatch material also, cutting closer to the grille shell. The entire
center portion of the grille shell will come out in one piece. (Fig 2)
Step 3
Next use the die grinder to smooth out where the cuts were made. Go around the
entire inside of the grille shell and grind it smooth. (Fig 3)
Step 4
Once the inside of the grille shell is smooth, lay the billet grille into the opening.
(Fig 4)
Step 5
While holding the billet grille in the grille shell, turn the grille over so you can
work on the backside. There are 8 tabs on the back side of the billet grille. Make
sure the billet if flush with the front side of the grille shell and use a couple pairs
of vise grips to hold the tabs on the billet grille to the grille shell, this will keep
the billet flush while you install it. (Fig 5)
Step 6
Now you will drill a hole through the tabs on the billet grille. With the tabs secure
with vise grips drill through the hole in the tab and through the grille shell on
each of the tabs.
