Default changing out grille

I'm buying a 2012 v6 premium but want to add this billet grille http://www.americanmuscle.com/2010-v6-black-grille.html how easy is it to install yourself, is a bolt over one like from carriage works easier/better or is it worth it to just swap it out? Thanks

From the looks of it, it says that those are overlay grilles. So they basically attach over your stock grille with hardware. That reduces airflow though they say since its grille on grille. Personally if you can afford it I would go with a full replacement grille and it looks better too IMO since you can't see a stock grille behind it like an overlay.

Overlays sork.
Pull the OEM grill and get the real deal.

I have one for sell in the classifieds for 100.00. Only the top though but it includes the OEM grille with the pony already professionally cut out.
