    Hello all. I removed my front grill in order to install the TRD style grill insert. In some of the videos I saw, there are several screws on the bottom of the insert to the outer shell. For mine, it does not have screws but what appears to be rivets. Aside from buying a new outer shell, anyone else come across this and if so, what did you end up doing? Thanks

    I’ve never seen rivets only screws. You can drill out the rivets but just be carefully and take your time.

    It looks like rivets but they are actually torx bit screws

    I will remove again the grill and see if I can match up the screw head to one of my torx bits. Thanks
