    Goes in as your other one came out. If you have the sensor, there is some rerouting if the cable that can be done behind the grille, but it’s pretty straightforward install. Post pics when you get it installed :thumbsup:

    Accept that you will likely break the clips on the factory chrome one on its way out.

    When i did this I had quite a frustrating time getting my stock sport grill out of the housing via all of those clips. Like noted above, some may break but just be patient.

    You don't need a thread for this. One youtube search and 20 minutes of your time and it will be done

    You will be pretty busy if your plan is to go through this forum and post that in every thread where it applies.

    No kidding. Either way, my advice to consult youtube was the best so far in the thread

    If your logic made any sense it would defeat the purpose of this forum. :confused:

    Maybe he only had a computer at work and youtube is blocked. :thumbsup:

    There's this crazy invention called an iPhone, maybe you've heard of it? And why are you trying to make up some bizarre scenario for OP when you clearly have no idea his situation?

    The purpose of this forum isn't repeat questions time after time after time. It's to gain knowledge, yes, and the knowledge is out there, almost an infinite amount of times.

    It is jerks like you guys that when a noob posts up just looking for some advice and you guys tell him to go search for it instead of welcoming them and just giving a few minutes of your time to explain. Do what you want and I will do what I want. The d1ck thing to do is say go search and the proper thing to do is try and offer some helpful advice or just don't say anything at all.

    I read somewhere that switching grills w/ the radar sensor would require a trip to the dealer for the system to be recalibrated.
    No clue if that's been confirmed though.
    Hopefully it's not necessary.

    OP has more messages than me, far from a noob. Besides that I haven't seen you help or welcome him at all. I gave him A+ advice, sorry it wasn't warm and fuzzy Paul approved
