Default Not too bad if you are willing to wrench on your own stuff......

I would venture to say that removing the front end for the first time would be about 1-2 hrs, and then whatever time it takes to install the grill

Default I would it's not something you want to rush

FYI I managed to take off my OEM grill without snapping ANY of the tabs (pics in my fotki). Take a look @ my install, some of the pics might help

Default not yet Eugene, been shifting it smoothly so it doesnt scrape. seems like my closest dealer...

(the collection) isnt going to give me a rental because i purchased from another dealer. (Braman in west palm) so i need to get a rental, so i am just waiting untill i get my wheels refinished...then i'll kill 2 birds with one stone.
