got my billet grill today and started the install. was difficult considering just about half the screws were plastic and stripped and I had to rip em out. After I got the cover off, I took out the side markers, not wanting to go through the immense trouble of getting my headlights back in. Then I had to pop out the black things that are connected to some sheet of plastic (NOT IN MY DIRECTIONS?!?!?!) but I found it online. Would not pop out and had to cut them off. Seems like homedepot will have a visit soon after all the screws that will no longer work. Its just about all out cept that there are two, support beams perhaps, that are hooked up to the back of the grill. I tried to see if I could pop them out, but it wouldn't budge and I can't see very well. I had to go to work and had to drive a sport trac (horrid! slow accels, bad brakes). Please someone help me tonite, I almost have the shell off, but nothing online is very helpful. Please help!1

 

I went through the same stuff i just got a small screw driver and pried the plastic screws out of the little thing that they are supposed to unscrew out of. After that its a piece of cake. You just take out the corners and the headlights its simple look at your owners manual ! Then take the screws out that hold the grill shell in place. Now here comes the hard part. Im not sure if you have a 97-98 but with those you have to cut the grill out but with the 99-02 all you do is pop the grill insert out and put the billet one in its place. Good Luck
