Changing out the kidney grills is easy. Simply remove the chrome ones and snap in the painted high gloss black ones. However changing out the mesh grills just above the bumper and in the center of the bumper is not such an easy task...since it requires removing the front bumper trim! While not for the faint hearted, it's certainly not difficult to do. Took me about half hour only, and that's due to the PDC wiring that's wire tied to the inside of the bumper trim.

The end result is worth the effort. The two black mesh trim pieces can be ordered through any dealer. Part numbers will vary on whether or not you have PDC sensors.
