Curious...why do you think you can't do it yourself? They are a pretty straight forward install.

I have an extra front surround, if you dont want to cut your's up to install the billet grill.

(im guessing your talking about a billet grill install, if not, the Harley Grills just pop right into the stock tabs.)

No, I was interested in installing the upper and lower grills off of a stock Harley truck on my L.

Was speaking to Vinny, but dont expect a Harley lower to fit, its not the same.. not any year. Only the uppers will fit.. i sold mine to a Lightning brother already.

It is really easy........

the bottom grille is a piece of cake. If you look under the truck you will see the screws holding it in.

the top grille is a little more involved, but don't let that stop you. first remore the corner lights. then you will see the screws at the end of the grille surround trim. there are some clips in the center, if I remember right.....just take your time and you will see where everything is attached.

sorry if I can't be more exact, it was along time ago that I pulled the grille
