Billet Grill

I'm buying a billet grill and was wondering if it's a pain to install. It's the replacement grill, not the bolt over grill. I have a tendency of breaking things if its not easy to put together, so I was just wondering what ya'll thought. Thanks

When i was putting my bug shield on you had to take the grill off and it looked like it wouldnt be a hard task to install a grill at all. looks to be a lot easier than the last body style. Im trying to find a grey billet grill to go on my truck so hopefully its not a hard task

Ive learned that if you dont handle things like the Incredible Hulk then things wont break. Its not a hard install, but dont man handle the grill either.

The hardest part for me was removing and putting back the entire front grill shell. Installing the grill is easy and the whole job should take under an hour.

I just installed a Carriage Works Billet Grille, it is a replacement not bolt over. I did it in about three hours.

The Carriage Works billet grill looks great. I liked the reuse of the chrome ABS outer shell. I used a hair dryer to ease out the plastic tabs on the stock insert.
