I just ordered the "SS" grille from SLP today. Last night I was checking out how to remove the old one but didn't really get to far. It was kinda cold out. I was just wondering from the guys that got it how hard was it to take off the old and install the new one. Thanks for the help!

I guess it depends on whether you want to keep the original grille. I didn't, so I just ripped it out and chucked it in the trash. Installing the new one is no big deal, you do have to drill a few holes however.
The old comes off quickly, a couple of bolts off the lower facia, pry some clips off the bottom three connectors on the old, then I put a screw driver inside the holes where the attaching lugs go through the upper part of the facia and pryed the nuts off, this took about 20 minutes.
Drill six holes in the facia and mount her up. Total time about 2 hours cause I was being extra careful.
