You will not have to remove the bumper. Removing four screws under the hood will give you access to replace the kidney grills. It could be done in 30 minutes or so

yup if you are removing lower grills you have to take your bumper off...i'm assuming you are painting the lower grills?

Dr.phuOnger? · 08-09-2009, 11:41 AM
