I want to replace my factory grill with a Trenz' billet grill and billet bumper. How do you take the old one off and what does it take to put the new ones on? And what looks better, brushed or polished? Any info you have could help me out.

I have the polished and love it! It was definatley worth the $$. I helped a buddy put one on his truck, and I can tell you that if you are a busy guy, it will probably be worth your money to have someone install it. It took us a full day to get all the plastic alignned correctly to fit the billet in the correct position. The local shop here (Daytona Beach, FL) installs them for $50 and it takes them almost 4.5 hours, but it looks damn good.
If you are planning to add anything else polished, def. go with a polished grille. If you plan on going with the black coat, the brushed would probably be better.
Hope this helps

 

Look under Other Body on the message board and there's a topic on grill removal there.Good luck
