grills are easy... you need a torx to remove the 4 screws above the grill... and then just your fingers to remove the clips... (press down)... let me know i can take some pics for you if you want to do this on your own... i think it takes me a total of about 3 minutes...

here's the DIY I made a long time ago on the grilles!

Product
Matte (or Flat) Black



The Remove the plastic with the rubber on top by simply pulling upwards.
(I had a picture but it got messed up, didnt want to load)


Take these out (5 of them)



Pull the front bumper forward and push on these with your hand (if it fits) while pulling the grill outwards. Do the ones at the bottom first (3x) the the ones at the top (3x), then the one in the inner corner (1x). 7 total






Unpainted Grills


******After washing the Grills thoroughly!! ****** :geek:

Recommended ( but not necessary) Cover the parts you don't want painted with some tape.


And Spray away, the more coats the better. I did about 5 per grill. let it rest for about 5 minutes in between coats (depending on the product).

Painted Grills! Real MATTE BLACK!!!




ENJOY!!

Hope This Is Somewhat Helpful!

the paint is great, it was recently after more than a year that a little tiny part came off (barely noticeable). So I gave it a little touch up. Takes me about 20 mins to take these out and touch it up.
