Installing I35 grill on I30
I picked up an I35 grill for my 2001 I30 but I can't seem to figure out how to install it. I'm sure I'm just not seeing something simple. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I did search but didn't come up with much other than that the I35 grill will directly bolt on.

It's very simple. Its been a while since I swapped out mine, but there are either a few small plastic clips or screws on the back. Just pop open the hood & look on the back of the grille. I'm sure you can figure it out from there.

Where did you get yours?
I saw a few junk yard ones for $50+
Then there are these on eBay for $33 shipped: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/INFIN...spagenameZWD1V
Anyone have experience with the ebay grilles?

Like Clayman said, it's a pretty simple procedure. just open the hood and look behind the grille. You will see approximately six nuts all around the grille. Remove them with a 8mm socket (I think, it's only been 5 years). After you have done this, it is the exact opposite for the installation on the I35 grille as it comes with the threaded studs already installed.
I dont remember transplanting any weather stripping, but either way it is not a big deal.

Before: bad lighting, dirty car, blurry picture
After: good lighting, clean car, sharp picture
I am liking the I35 grille more now, I used to like the I30 grille more, but now I want a change.

Well two things have happened to change things: I put the I35 grill on (quite easy) and I decided that I prefer the I30 grill. Then I got my textbook bill in the mail, so now I need the cash so my I35 grill is for sale.
