When I put on the 35TH grill I pulled off the old in 1 piece a long screwdriver in the back of the old will help when its 1/2 off if you want to save the old piece. The new if its like mine will have 4 plugs that you will put in after the grill is in place and holes drilled into the front facia. Carefull on the drilling if you keep on going it will go through the top from what I have hear. A piece of electrical tape where you want to stop will help from drilling to far But still be carefull. This is where the 12 0z's come into play . After (or during) the install step back crakk it open and say.........

You want to get the x-mas tree fastners in as straight as possible. Using a plastic mallet rather than your thumb is easier to push the pins in with also.

Now where did y'all put the the dash plaque?!?!?! I can't find a good place that matches the curve! Posts: 99 | From: AZ | Registered: Aug 2003  |  IP: Logged
