**Need Help** Upper Front Grille installation
Ok, this may be a very dumb question, but, does anyone have a how-to.... for the upper front grille. I see the DIY lower grille but unable to locate one for the upper grille. I would appreciate any help but constructive criticism is always fun to read.
Thanks in advance!

Rep Power: 367 the DIY is a good one.
u gotta remove the bumper. so be mindful of that.
overall its not hard if you've remove the bumper before.. if you haven't, its not tough.. just do it slowly, its not easy to mess up so dont worry. the bumper is urethane and rather sturdy so you can't really damage it or rip it. I mean, unless u step on it..
actually even if you step on it, it might be okay.
follow the DIY but there's a point where the DIY will stray from the actual installation, depending on if you have a coupe or sedan.
the sedan radiator cover mounts right up to the front grill while the coupe you will have to remove the radiator cover.

Rep Power: 0 hey, i checked out the DIY for the grillcraft, but hey....do you need to drill anything if you buy an altezza or RS grill? from what i could see, i think the grillcraft didn't have that....hmmm, little plastic thing on the bottom. i don't know if that changes anything, but if i went ahead and bought an RS grill, do i install it with no drilling? and by the way, what is the thing that i have to do/buy if i want to install it on a coupe (since it's made for a sedan)? i forgot what it is. thanks for clearing this up....

Rep Power: 0 The DIY for Headlight Clearing has the DIY for Bumper Removal.

The RS grill install depends on which one you have. If it's the on with the RS emblem, then you need the radiator cover or backing plate from a sedan.
If the grill is the plain one, with the diamond mesh, you can install it ok on the coupe with the stock parts.
