Just do a search for how to remove the bumper and follow those steps. I didnt have any fitment issues when i installed mine, you just cant use the stock plastic cover on top of the grill. So it will look like there is a blank space there, but only when the hood is open. Look on your stock grill and you will see what I am talking about, its a black shield thingy attached to the grill itself.

If you couldnt find how to remove the bumper, click "archive" in the search window. Lotta ppl miss that

In my opinion, a grill is a grill.

eBay for $25 shipped. It's black ABS plastic, paint it whatever u want

ive installed mines without removing my bumper and all i did was bought some short nut and bolts and a couple of washers and as far as the radiator cover thingy goes i used a dremel and cutted the factory grill part to fit it back in (dont know if that made sence at all) and also ive heard you can use the 4door radiator cover and it should fit perfect
