You should be able to install it easily on your own. most people here have the mach1 delete, but it's usually not too difficult. My boyfriend and I are putting my mach1 grill on and the only thing that seems to give us trouble are the bolts that are on the underside of the stock grill.

Nope you have to unscrew the four bots underneath the grille just take the top screws off and then there will be some space under the grille. Reach under there with a 7mm wrench and untighten them clockwise yes clockwise because its the opposite side of where the car is. You will have to pull the front bumper but make sure you dont break it. Billet grilles suck go for the delete, or your gonna hava a rusted piece of crap on the front of your car

you really dont have to take anything off but the horse for the billet grilles. The billet grille only goes back so far so you wont have to remove the stock grille and it looks fine you cant even see the stock if you dont take it off...

You need thin hands and skinny fingers to do this. I managed it last year, and it was a f'n pain in the ***.
