Grill Delete

Do I want the 2 piece or the 3 piece? and how do you put it in

I got the 2 peice, im happy with it. If you want total perfection and a 100% stock look go with the 3 peice. It will look factory, as the 2 peice leaves a little gap in a certain spot.

Its not "hard" to install, its just a PITA to reach the bolts if you dont take the bumper cover off. Its something you should do yourself, but youll get cut and cuss alot... lol.

If you look you can see the little line, or gap on the top part. It doesnt bother me enough to spend the extra money on the 3 peice... And im not 100% sure but I think the 3 peice also covers up the latch part...? You might want to double check on that.

Go with the 3 piece.

You will need a 7mm wrench to get underneath the bumper cover to remove the bolts.

wait so you need to jack the car up to put in the grill delete?

no, its the underside of the top of the bumper. The honeycome piece is bolted to the bumper, so u have to reach under it to get access to the bolts.

When I had my old 04 I ended up using a sawzall and cut out the honeycomb part and it made it a piece of cake to get to the bolts on the bottom.

I have the 2 piece - you can see it in the headlights thread if you want... it is an easy install, tho as said a little bit of a pita.. it was the first install I did on my car (as in the first any time I ever did any kind of install on any car), just to let you know how easy it is.

 

[MrGame]

i just ordered the 3 piece it'll probably be here thursday or friday..anyone know where there's a step by step instruction for it?

I went 3-peice

Although if you get a 2-peice grill, you can make the inner grill trim that is stock on your car work with a little modification. It's almost the same as the 3rd peice in the Mach 1 kit except that the slot isn't cut out where the pony gets mounted. A little trimming, and you would think you bought the 3-peice grill.


Here's my 3-peice grill. I'm a stickler for details so i wanted the real parts instead of modifying the inner peice and getting a 2-peice

[BurningRubber]

3 peice is alot cleaner than mine.

 

[RedDaemon]

i went with the three piece myself

 

[MrGame]

what size screw do you need to hold the pony to the bumper?

 

[MrGame]

well i did it..my friend helped me, he doesnt' have gorilla hands like i do. I just have to get screws for the pony and some new fasteners cuz i don't like the way the old ones are (i kinda popped them out too hard) other than that it was pretty straightforward
