moved you thread to the 07+ section :Handshake:

Per RBP website:

Relax. Installing a new billet grille on your vehicle is easier than you think. If you know how to use a screwdriver and a ratchet wrench, you have just what it takes to mount most billet grilles.

Billet grilles can be divided into two categories based on their installation type: bolt over billet grilles and replacement billet grilles. Let's take a look at how they work.

Bolt Over billet grilles

These billet grilles are the easiest, least time-consuming to install. Rather than completely replacing your existing grill work, a Bolt Over billet grille sits right on top of your existing one. These have pre-attached hidden bolts and use brackets and locknuts for a solid, secure and simple installation. They require no drilling or cutting of any kind.

Replacement billet grilles

Unlike a Bolt Over billet grille that sits right on top of your stock grille, a Replacement billet grille is a complete transformation. Everything that your auto manufacturer installed in the grille section will be taken off in exchange for your personally chosen new billet grille. This means that you will have to perform a bit of bodywork, but it is not as bad as it sounds. Most stock grilles are mounted by plastic brackets, so all you have to do is slice through them with a saw, which should take no more than 20 minutes.

Once the original is out, your new Replacement billet grille takes its place. On certain vehicles, some easy drilling might be needed. Although the Replacement billet grilles take longer to install, the final result makes the time worth while.

I have a feeling the process would be pretty close tho, have you removed the grill yet?
