Anyone who installed 4.8is front bumper by yourself, please check in

Hello,

I need to replace front bumper grill (Part# 10), but not sure if I can just take it out and replace it or need to remove front bumper.
I have installed my 4.8is bumper at a bodyshop so didn't even know it was a plastic.
So hopely, could someone who installed bumper by yourself answer my question?

Thank you very much.

It slides and secures into place so if you can reach it from the top then NO need to remove the bumper.

Thanks E.
I was able to put my hands in behind the bumper so it seems like I can replace it without removing front bumper.

how about replacing #11 without removal of front bumper?

Im guessing ur going to change those grill inserts to aluminum/greyish plastic ones instead of black.. i was tryin to do this too to my 4.8 but people said u have to remove front bumper to do that.

I'm not sure but I think you need to remove front bumper to replace #11,
and those silver/greyish grills are standard for sports package , I'm just trying to replace my broken grill.

Why do you need to replace it? Swapping the Titanium grill with Black grill?
