Installing a new Grille

Does installing a new Grille for the front involve taking the bumper off? I just bought a new grille and wanted to know what is the process of getting the OEM one off and putting the new one in.

well if you're skilled, it can be done with the bumper hanging down half way. but its much easier and safer to just take it off. Prolly 30mins for you, I can do it in 5 after doing it so much.

Ive done it both ways. Just take the whole bumper off to save yourself time and frustration, especially the first time. After you have changed it once its easy, but the first time definatly take the bumper off

Ok thanks guys. I check the DIY and it should be fairly easy. Painting it will probably take longer.
