Use the headlight clearing DIY to find out how to take bumper off, then just look behind the bumper and you'll see the screws holding it on. Pretty easy stuff. You're gonna have to tap some holes though into the grill because they're not tapped. Just so you know.. You might need a power tool with some torque if you're a weakling like me.

for sedans it should be an exact fit but ya for the coupes its not... you could either buy the black sedan peice, just take out the black stock peice out or drill holes

why would there be a difference in grill for the sedans or coupes? i though the black altezza grill was an ez install, i just thought it was a quick bolt in. I just got it in the mail today so i will deal with it when i get home. Is the bumper hard to remove or is there a way around removing the bumper? (This is the same type of grill they have on ebay, the black plastic one)

The radiator "cover" that is on the coupe's will not fit on the grille but the sedan's bolt right up...
Yes...the bumper has to come off, but it's easy...Just look in the DIY section

Where did you buy it?
How much?

here's a link to removing your bumper just incase you havnt found it... but ya it should be easy...
reason why its different from coupe and sedan is coupe has 1 bar while sedans have two.. but ya again, it should be easy. oh and clear your headlights while your at it too

Got the grill installed, it looks good, i mean it doesnt fit perfect but it still looks good. There is a slight gap at the bottom, and on the top where the grill and hood meet there is a gap there, any suggestions on that? I didn't have time to clear my headlights out, but the bumper removal was pretty easy. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
