Grill Help

Hi,

I have a 2010 Base 4G TL. I need to replace the Grill. Anyone know the cheapest way to change it without paying $600?

Replace it as in aftermarket or as in you damaged the factory one?

You can buy the sport grill for $250 and replace it yourself.

Just remove the beak yourself, I think 4 bolts and have it painted body color. Shouldn't cost much at all if you remove it yourself.
If you have it done maybe $140.00?

SO many different options. Give us more information on your taste and what you see here that you like. Many different grille threads. I have a few parts you might be interested in, but need to know what your looking for.

I'd look around at some of the photos on here, from what we've seen in the past, the installed version (not what's on their website), really don't look too good. Now they may have fixed the fitment, but who knows.

It's not my style, but do what you like, it's your ride.

Just where are these 4 bolts? I think most people remove the bumper to replace the grill. If I'm wrong someone let me know. I'd like to know how to do a easy grill change.

Just 4 screws/bolt for the beak only. The surround has like 5 and they are in tight quarters, but is doable with the right tools & lots of patience. I would not take the bumper off, but that is just me.

Is it possible to remove just the beak? My service manual does not show that.
