The grill isn't to bad, I used the "how to" on the forum. Racked my knuckles getting the grill out of the facia though. Take your time, fairly straight forward.

I'm printing out a picture tutorial that i found and using it, but I've never done this before, so we'll see how many hours it takes me! haha.

Oh, and ks503, I did not angle them down. Only two people have flashed their brights at me, so I assume they must not be TOO annoying...Oh well...lol

okay...I guess you have started the modding! Congrats on the HID install and goodluck doing the grill! Chrysler installed my grill free of charge prior to me picking up my C, so that was one less headache for me!

Yea its pretty straight forward. I used the "how to" thats somewhere on here. Took me like 2 hours to get everything done. I've taken the front fascia off a couple times after the first install. I can take it off in probably 5 minutes now.

The hardest part for me was the plastic rivets that are on the wheel wells.

Make sure you buy replacement rivets(i think you need 6). I bought ones that have Phillips heads on them so they can screw on/off, so they are reusable. There only a few bucks for all of them. I recommend these.

Good luck.

I bought that same grill and was worried too with installing it. It was a breeze to remove it and i thought it was going to be hard to put it back on bc you had to line the holes from the bumper to the body and it fit right in and was a breeze here is two pics

we didnt have to remove the entire front fascia. We removed the grill and put in the new one. it was a pain in the a** though.

Did you need to purchase any different housings for the HIDs? I've been looking into doing this and it would be great if the HIDs from ebay were the only investment I had to make...was there any additional pieces that you had to get?
