I get the removal of the plastic liner part, but what torx screw that holds ur front apron?
Where is that location? anyone got a pic? or perhaps can use that pic and circle it ?
My grills arrived and i dunno how to install it lol

 

Here you go!

 

you dont have to remove the torx screws on top, i did it without removing them. you can do it by removing the top clips first by pushing the teeth down, then hold the grill firmly and in one motion jack it up and out.

He is talking about the screws on top of the front bumper holding it on top. These are the black screws right where you removed the weather strip from.

 

OHHH!!! SO u can just take the weather strip out? its not screwed? then i can just remove the 5 torx?
And after i remove the grill? do i slide the grill in first then put on the screws? or do u put the 5 screws back up the slide it?

 

siu0410 - If you have stock bumper, here is what you do.

I guess you know how to get to the top clips of grilles, now take a look the the black plastic piece on the lower part of bumper directly under the front licence plate. Thats put on by a few clips. Once its out, you can rearch in from under with you hand and unclip the other tabs. After the 1st grille is off, the 2nd is easy. I did mine in 10 minutes total. Good luck.

 

No need to remove the torx.

 

Thanks, but the problem what im concerned with is. (since the other thread confuses me)
Do i snap on the grills first?
Or do i re-screw back the torx screws then snap on the grills?

 

As in just remove the weather strip then i should have access to the top clips?

 

Correct. Like I said, if you have stock bumper, then there is no need to touch the torx screws. Just rearch in from underneath. And the new grilles just slide right in.

 

i just started switching my grills, whats the black plastic piece directly under my license plate?
