    I need to post some pictures but I just got mine painted "hot rod black" which seems identical to what you have here. I think it looks much nicer.

    Can you tell me how to remove the lower front grill assembly? I need to install my front license plate bracket.
    Thx

    Just pull it out. Start with a trim tool in a corner and work it

    If you guys plan on plastidiping the skid plate and bumper, I recommend leaving tow hook grommets in place because getting them back in after the fact is guaranteed to scratch the fresh paint (unless you're completely removing the bumper).
