    Cut & broke off stuff. Prolific ziptie and tape usage.
    I just removed the chrome surround and had a body shop color match for me. Don't remember exact price because they did some other stuff too. Maybe 100-ish for grille.

    You can do that as well. Like I said, I paid $169 out the door and sold my take off chrome the next week on CL for $125. So, less than $50 for a color matched grill in the end.

    Didn't think about this. I'll try it next time I need an OEM part.

    Been thinking about this, but still looking for real clear instructions on the install. Anyone have experience with time and level of difficulty?

    Sounds pretty simple. Pop out two plastic clips on top, and two small bolts-- then pull up/out on the grille to pop out several clips on the bottom. You may have to "help" each clip on the bottom by going from one side to the other one at a time. Sounds pretty easy.
