I am too scared of installation to buy a Heritage Grille!
I watched a You Tube video (by a member of Camaro5...I recognize the name) of the installation of a Heritage grille. People say its pretty easy, but after watching, I don't think I have it in me! I can hopefully count on my brother to help me in his (machine) shop so all the necessary tools are within arms reach. At 17, he rebuilt, with minimal help, a 67 Firebird and did an excellent job to boot!! I just don't want to damage the front bumper or the wheel wells or SOMETHING!!! I feel somewhat defeated and think maybe I should just keep the OE grille and switch the bow ties for white "SS" badges from Sparks.......cue the violins

You can always get your dealer to install it.

I think the member you're talking about is GTAHVIT. He has a dark blue SS/RS. He's a moderator here.

Come on now...a Prius?? My dealer will charge, I believe, $400 for an installed Heritage grille. Too much for a piece of plastic. And its not a matter of "the tough get going", I am paranoid of scratching, denting, doing something that will end up costing MORE money to fix.
I appreciate the comments and yes, GTAHVIT's video was the one I watched. I'm off to work, but I will look at the instructions posted. Maybe instead of crying I should get my brother's opinion about whether we can do it or not!! |
