Is it hard change the front grills to the matte black ones? is it just like a snap on type thing or do I need to have someone install them for me?

Pretty easy, with a little patience. Just access the clips in the back. Use a screwdriver to gently push/pull the clips off.
Gently! I felt like i was going to rip off my bumper getting those damn grilles off.
