Kidney Grills "HELP!

135Bling · 04-01-2010, 01:00 PM

Has anyone in Toronto (Markham) installed the black kidney grills and can help me out? I have read the the DIY instructions but I just can't do it (i'm just dumb lol). Any help will be much appreciated, dont' understand how some people said it took them 30secs to do it.

Thanks!

What people aren't telling you is that you have to pull the upper part of the front bumper (the part the grills attach to) way-the-f'-out towards you. Almost to the point you think you are going to break it to make the top clips accessible.

This is why you have to remove the rubber gasket along the top. Once the rubber is removed and the bolts are taken out, you'll get the idea.

Good luck.

I had more trouble with the bottom clips than the top. I honestly just pulled as hard as I could and got lucky... Good luck though!

You gotta tug up real hard to get to the top clips I found the other clips easy, just follow the diy. Good luck
