From what I read and understand most of the Grills aren't necessarily replacements but rather they cover over the stock grill but then some do require removal of the Stock Grill in order to replace it with the aftermarket application.

You can go to Ebay and search for the Grills there and most have the instructions on the site on how to add them.

I have done the grill replacement with an E&G chrome grill! It was not that hard just pay attention to the instructions and it was a piece of cake.

Now I do have to say getting the stock grill out of it's current location was a little tricky and if not done with care can scratch your front bumper. Putting the aftermarket grill in was VERY easy. I did show my install pictures in another post check them out!

The top grill requires no drilling what so ever. It mounts in the stock position as would the original grill. As for the lower grill, there is some drilling required. Five small holes for the lower valance must be drilled for the grill to be st in place. I have not done it yet, because I had some reservations on drilling holes in my new MAX and when I decided I was going to go through with it I relaized that I had to find another way to mount my front license plate in order for it all to fit in place. When I find a way I will post SOON!

Ms. Maximus says that the bottom grille used j-hooks or something to clamp to the stock lower insert. See the post here. My billet grille should be here wed, and the lower part a week later. I can't wait..
