Installed black grills in 5 minutes using bumper loosening method. Pull off weatherstripping, take off 6 #30 torx, use flathead screwdriver with electrical tape on end to push top 3 tabs slightly in while pulling on grill from outside, once those 3 that you can see on top are no longer locked in position, give gentle tug on grill and then very easy to reach in with hand and unclip sides. Other side takes next to no time and new grills pop in without effort.
Not sure why anyone would rig a special tool and break stock ones as this was one of the easiest things I've done. Helps to examine new ones first and then it's pretty obvious how to remove them. Other useful item would be thin winter glove liners as the grills are kinda sharp to full on and this will also help wrist when reaching in to get to side and bottom clips. Not needed, but after I was done that's what came to mind. No pics as car is dirty and garage was getting dark, but looks great with black car and soon to be Carbon mirror caps.

Just ordered mine from IND. I got the m tri color gloss ones. Can't wait to see what that looks like. I've been searching for the m tri color ones and was happy to find them on IND.
I'll post pics once I install them. |
