Question Stull Billet Grill Install ?

Hello again, I was wanting to get a Stull Billet grill and install it , however I am not so sure that I can do the job myself. I have been told that its not the easiest thing to do.
So what I was wondering is there anyone in the East Texas Area that has done this and might be willing to give me a hand with it . Ill be glad to Pay or supply the liquid beverages of your choice for the assistance.

Thanks again...

I don't live in Texas, but you should have no problems installing the grill yourself. Mine went on pretty easy!

I second that. Just allow alot of time and don't get rushed. There are some excellent instructions that have been posted. Just take a day and have at it. If you can't find the help, hints, instructions etc. Let me know and I rewrite what I can remember.

DoubleEagle,
You have the painted grill so all you have to do is cut (or grind) the plastic welds in the back and the grill removes easily. The billit grill I have attaches to the shelf on the inside of the grill then the grill is reinstalled up against it. You may have to adjust it to get it just right.
If you have heard of people having problems it is grills like mine where I have the chrome shell. These shells are one piece and the inside has to be cut out and then sanded to the edge of the chrome. That was a P-I-A. I decided I like the chrome front so I did the cutting thing. I also mounted a Blade Runner from the front of a 2000 Tauris and it looks good.

Man you guys make it sound easy.. A buddy of mine owns a shop and he said that he would only charge me $40 to install it for me.

What do you think is that reasonable for the amount of work?

Or try it myself..

Depends, took me about 5 hours but I really, yes really took my time, made a few mistakes but nothing terrible. If you want a project and like putting things together go for it. If you don't care $ 40.00 divided by 5 = $ 8.00 per hour. Hey is that cash money? If you don't really care for projects have him do it.

I live in north Texas, but wth is Paris?

It's easier than you think. A rotating power tool definitely will come in handy..
