I have the same question. I know about the grill but does anyone know about cutting that metal "lip" on the metal bumper frame? I also thought that this is involved.
Thanks

You're absolutely right, good question. I should have brought that up because I remember I was upset when the people I was asking questions to didn't tell me about that. Right below the outer 'legs' of the grill are two raised 'cubes' of metal. You either have to saw/chop/cut them off or do what I did and cut a ~ 1"x1" square out of your new bumper right above the cubes. There is already a perferation so it is real easy to do. Good luck. Feel free to ask anything ele.

Cubes? i dont think I saw that. What I am referring to is the long metal "lip" that runs horizontally across the steel frame of the bumper. You know what I am talking aboout? That lip does NOT need to be cut? Thanks!!

Nothing other than the cubes needs to be cut.
