Installation Help: Mesh Grill
 
Can anybody point me to a guide for removing and replacing the mesh grills in the bumper assembly below the Kidney grills?

You need to remove the entire bumper to get to it.

7.5 hours to replace mesh grilles on bumper cover?! I'm wondering how much that dealership charges for oil change.

The various PDC guides on the homepage of this site are worth a look re: removal of front bumper. Good luck.
