Yes it's true! I got mine when they where a little higher in price. The top grill is a piece of cake. (the hardest part is getting the small 10mm nuts off and install them w/ the washers. i.e. they fall & are hard to find.) Installing the middle one is where the fun and time is needed to get it to fit. It took me almost 6 hours. If I do it again it should be less an 1 1/2 to do. The meterial around the outside middle grill will need to be removed to about and 1/4 of and inch. (leave the tabs so it will snap in) If you want it to fit flush. Also the louver under the removable colored louver from the bumper cover needs to be removed/cut out. Power tools needed are a small air grinder and a Dremel. Or you need a really steady hand with the Dremel!

Have fun!
