Heritage grille question
I am looking to get one and was wondering if you really had to take the front fascia off to install it?

Taking the front bumper off is relatively easy, just unsnap & unbolt a few things and then pull it off.

I like the stock grill so much better, this is why my heritage grill has been sold.

I think the V6 lower grill matches better with the stock, as does the V8's lower grill match the heritage grill better. Personally though, I like the stock on either and do prefer it over the heritage grill, now. The heritage looked unique at first, but I never thought it looked better. And as for unique, not very anymore.

It really is an easy DIY install. It takes a litle time to get the car in the air and get the front wheels off, but that's the most time-consuming part. The rest is screws in the wheel wells and some clips on the fascia.

Actually, it's not that hard to do. I did mine with a friend. It's nice to have a second set of hands to help slide the facia on and off of the car.

Did my own install also. Not that hard at all. Taking the front wheels off makes the Job much easier.

I put the black SS on mine. I think it looks better with the SS. It is personal preference.
