It took me a while to figure out how to remove the original grills. But once figured out on one side, the other side was just a matter of minutes.
The replacement, mat black, grills than just click in there.

Still I don't know wich I like best, the chrome and black grills have both different but great looks. So I just like them both. Now it's quite easy to change the look of the car by exchanging the grills once in a while

Looks good.

I have gloss black and chrome. I switch out depending on which wheels I run. If I'm running with my M6 replicas, I black out my car; if I run my chrome flower power wheels, I choose the chrome grills/gills.

Looks good. Looks like it took hours to put them on judging by the position of the sun in the pictures
