The grille attaches with 4 screws. The ducts are attached with 3M tape. You need at least 2 friends and 14 hands to get everything lined up to attach. I also installed the scoop at the same time and had to trim it, but as mentioned before, it lines up with the duct really well.

Yes, much easier in the long run. Hardest part is dragging out the floor jack and removing the front wheels.

Jaime,

Are you able to confirm whether it's just the lower grill that needs to be cut or are there additional areas that will need to be dremeled as well. I can't seem to find anyone that can confirm what exactly needs to be cut when installing these ducts with the factory lower grill.

Nothing needs to be cut. You do however have to drill in holes for the screws in the tabs of the lower bumper.

Ok...so the lower grill has to be cut and I need to drill some holls in the tabs of the lower bumper. That doesn't sound too bad. If I want to go back to stock, for whatever reason...sounds like ordering a new factory lower grill is all I would need, because the tabs would still be in place...just have some holes in it right?

You don't even need to drill holes if you are using the factory lower grill. All you need to do is trim the lower grill and attach the ducts to the bumper with 3M tape.

The only time you need to drill holes is if your installing the street scene billet lower grill.

Yeah I should have specified. I have the street scene lower grille with ducts, so drilling holes in the lower grille area of the bumper is what needed to be done.
