I used your video today and made it a piece of cake to put my chiller and Heritage grill on. It beat the heck out of ripping and jerking to find out what screw I didn't see. lol Thanks man!

Make sure the guid pins are lined up to the wholes in fenders. if those are lined up and the bolt near the side marker is lined up, you should not have that gap. Watch Part 2 @ 6:30

Thanks for the video... Took about 3 hours to install the Heritage grille and lower grille.
I tried to use the video during the install and that's when Camaro5 was down fro the merging with corvette7! Thank you for putting it up on you tube...that was a big help!

Looks great and you're welcome.

I know this is an old one, but it just helped me make up my mind to install a Heritage grill in my 2010 2SSRS.

Not a bad job for a one-handed guy.

LOL Thanks.

I mostly wanted to show everyone it can be done with regular hand tools.

Post pics when you're done.

I did mine Saturday,the directions that come with it are not the best. The hardest part was prying the old grille out of the fasica. The instructions say nothing about having to remove the energy absorber,either.

Thnx for the vid used it this weekend as well

So I finally did get it fitted correctly, after jacking up the front end and taking the wheels off.. Turned out the air scoop i had installed earlier was also getting in the way, so i had to take that off, and reinstall it afterwards. In conclusion, WHEELS OFF FOR MUCH EASIER INSTALLATION
