Rep Power: 0 i don't take mine all the way off to clean the air filter i just lean the top part down, but here lately when I snap it back in it doesn't seem to want to go back into place under the headlights as smoothly.

Rep Power: 0 yea same with 2k2civicray, it used to go all the way in, now it goes in and out, dang!!, i think probably have to make the clip tighter? or somehow make the insert more thicker , but definately it has lost its ability to stay in the clips, the sides used to hold it together cause it was tight but now its get looser, not good

Rep Power: 0 You'll be able to do it yourself, just be a little more careful. It's easier with friends to help you, but I changed my headlights and grill by myself. It may also take just a little bit longer ...
Good luck man
