Just installed Trex billet grille on my 2014!

So this was a bitch to install. The direction were super blurry and unclear so if anyone has any questions let me know. The hardest part was trying to get off the damn bowtie on the front. Then the lower grille was quite difficult too, with the little twisties. But its all done!

Aw yeah

well i for one think it looks f awesome!! a great car deserves a billet aluminum grille not a piece of plastic

i zipsawed my bowtie off

now just have to get it and install it. trex website is a bit hard to figure out - looks like you have to order top (21031B) and bottom (25032B) separate? where did you get yours?

they don't come with the silly "T-REX" badge on do they, and force you take it off? i might put my SS sticker back on though, same place it was on the factory grille

also, can you tell me a bit more about the "twisties" bcz i tend to get pissed off and bust stuff too easy, lol

thanks bud

Hey! I ordered both the top and bottom from carid.com, you could choose it as a set. I emailed them and asked them about the T-Rex badge and no, it doesnt come with it. The badge is just on there for show on the website.

The 'twisties' are called toggle bolts (just google it, they will pop up). You use these toggle bolts to attach the lower grille. The upper grille requires you to take off the radiator cover (just required a little bit of force), stick your hand in with a little flat peice, and from the front, screw a bolt through the grille to the flat piece. The installation was fast, and the instrutions were pretty easy. With the toggle bolts, I did have someone help me, the held two screwdrivers around the toggle bolt while I screwed them open. If you didn't have someone holding it, it would just spin around as you screwed the bolt in. Relativly easy install.

Thope that helps!
