Got one today for the car, but it was getting too dark to put it on tonight. I was glancing thru the instructions, and saw it said to remove the entire front bumper. Does anyone have one of these grills,and do you really have to remove the bumper?

My buddy has an 02 and he had to remove the bumper for a grill install....

No biggie tho - removing the bumper is a real easy thing to do.

I've removed my stock grille a couple of times without removing the bumper, easy to do, it only takes 2 minutes to remove, I can't imagine that you would have to remove the bumper to install their grille.

This does not require bumper removal. Like Partsbill said, it's easy and quick. Just be careful to protect the bumper sliding the replacement grill in. I scuffed mine up a bit the first time and had to buff it out.

Will do......ASAP. I guess the instructions want you to remove the bumper because the lower grill snaps that hold it to the bumper are a PITA to get loose. It took me about 45 minutes to do the whole job, including cleaning the dirty areas under the grill and behind it.

99GTtony... did you install the bulds that came with the kit or leave the factory bulbs in? I have the same grille and installed the bulbs in the kit and do not like the different color compared to the factory headlights... thinking about swapping the factory bulbs back in.
