Step 1
PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE ATTEMPTING
INSTALLATION. The rst step of the installation is to remove the factory grille
shell from the vehicle. There are a dozen 10mm nuts holding the grille shell to
the bottom of the hood and a black bracket at the lower part of the grille shell
that need to be removed. Use a thin plastic pry bar or putty knife to pry the
factory grill from the hood (Fig 1), there are several latches with clips anlong the
top of the grill that will pop loose (Fig 2). Start prying at the corner and move
along the grille as the latches pop loose. Use masking tape under the prybar,
putty knife to prevent scratches to the paint of the vehicle.

Once you have the grille shell removed use masking tape to cover the front of
it to prevent any scratches during installation. The center of the two grille shell
openings need to be removed. Cut across the to vertical bars and along the
sides of the grille shell openings with a jigsaw (Fig 3). Leave a little (1/2”) of
the material. Once the grille is cut it should look like (Fig 4).

Step 5
While holding the billet grille in the grille shell, turn the grille over so you can
work on the backside. Make sure the billet if ush with the front side of the grille
shell and use a couple pairs of vise grips to hold the tabs on the billet grille to
the grille shell, this will keep the billet ush while you install it.
Step 6
Drill a 1/8” hole through the brackets on the billet and the grille shell. Install the
screws through the brackets and the grille shell making sure they install inward
toward the center of the grille in the top opening (this is so the hood will close
without the screws interfering) and put a at nut on the back then tighten (Fig 7).
On the bottom opening make sure the screws insert from the center of the grille
outward through the grille shell (Fig 8) and install a at nut. Make sure all the
screws are tight, reinstall the grille shell on the vehicle along with the hardware.
Installation complete.
Step 3
Next use the die grinder to smooth out where the cuts were made. Go around the
entire inside of the grille shell and grind it smooth (Fig 5).
Step 4
Once the inside of the grille shell is smooth, lay the billet grille into the opening.
