In fact your dealer should give them back to you automatically. They belong to you anyway. You had to buy the chrome ones out of your own pocket right? It wasn't a swap at the dealers. If it was then you expect them to keep the old ones.

nope I did'nt have to break the old grills, I followed the image/instructions ch7656 posted. by removing that weather strip/guard it exposes the upper tabs for the grills..making it a lot easier to remove the grills. The new grills snap in place after that
