So I'm not too sure which section this question goes under...but seeing as out the DIY sticky is in this section...

Has anyone made a tutorial on how to install a grille? I'm interested in purchasing a c-mod grille and I just wanna make sure I do everything correctly. Not sure if it's a simple install or not so I wanna double-check with everyone. I can't seem to find it in the technical page, nor through the search engine :\

Any tips or directions will definitely help!!

Here you go!

1. Remove bumper following the DIY writeup -> http://www.nicoclub.com/articles.php?id=293385
2. Remove the factory grille by pushing the plastic clips off of their retainers

Detail of retaining clips and tabs:

3. Install the C-Mod Grille by hooking the top of the Grille and then pushing the bottom clips on to the bumper.
Note: I had to trim a little off the C-Mod Grille upper tabs in order to get the right fitment.

4. End up with a great looking A/C!

question - i read a post stating you need to buy a new front bumper when installing a c-mod grille. is this true? cuz it totally diverted me from purchasing myself a c-mod grille, and left me dealing with my chrome mustache.... =[

not true, you use your existing bumper and just replace the grill
