Just bought some factory chrome upper and lower grille replacements for my S because I'm not liking the painted S grille anymore. Anyone ever installed these? Is it easy? Thanks in advance!!

 

The upper literally just pops out in like 5 minutes I hear. The lower is much more of a PITA (common wisdom is that you have to dissamble the lower bumper to get at all the clips), although I know that CKMINI put his Aero Grille lower peice on without removing the lower bumper using some sort of heavy-duty adhesive made for the RV market or something... I think he had to break the tabs on the existing lower peice to do that, though (although I might be misremembering). Do a search for "Aero Grill Install" and I know I've seen threads with complete removal and installation How-Tos that you should be able to capitalize on.

Is your current grille red inside, and what do you plan to do with it?

 

I did find the thread- thanks
My thought was just that mine isn't the same type of grille.

Well the thread I meant was about installing the black Areo Grille, but the instructions are also in there for removing the OEM grille, right? Those should all apply, and then you SHOULD be able to just reverse those instructions to re-install the chromed OEM peice, right?

Let me know if you plan to sell your old grill, OK? I find myself in need of one for a DIY project that I'm pondering... No biggie of yu have plans for it already, though. Good luck!
