Just looked at the WSM and to remove the grille all you do is remove the top cover over the radiator (plastic push pins) then at the top of the grille there are two bars that go back a few inches and those have two bolts attached to them. Once those bolts are removed there are 7 retainers at the bottom or the grille where the upper bumper cover meets the grille. Release those and the grille is removed.

So easy a caveman can do it!

So, this happened. Hardest thing was getting the old one out, bottom clips are a mofo. The fitiment isn’t exact, but close. Had to trim a wee bit off the bottom corners. The mounting points at the bottom are not the same but will work with some patience. With a little more time I will get it perfect.

NICE! Any pics of it straight on? Curious if there's any gap between the grill and bumper.

EDIT: Looks like we'll need a new source for these if they're not too hard to install - the ebay link has dried up.

Looks awesome

I will say that this grill is much better built than our U.S. version.
