    Thought about it but cutting my factory grill with very little experience on car body work gives me anxiety lol. Rather just pay the money to have someone install it correctly

    Definitely understand the nerves. It was a tense moment when the blade hit the grill. After the first cut, it wasn't that bad and easy install.

    tail gate lock, rear view mirror bracket, hood hinge brackets, and the list grows.
    Its not to bad tense yeah just make sure its centered when you drill the holes. I did feel the same way though.

    SUPER easy. I did mine with a hacksaw blade (just the blade, wrapped in duck tape on one end for a handle.. lol) Takes 20 mins to cut out the old one. Then the new one screws right in.
