From the looks of your pics, it seems the upper and lower grills attach with tabs. For dive planes and bezel, what hardware do you need to secure them to bumper? Also, for 1LE splitter, is it attached with existing stock splitter hardware and grill tabs?

Hell no I would't been able to make my Car payment if I bought this stuff from ACS.. or on ebay these people are ripping us off! these parts are cheap at the dealer and even more cheaper on line like at Iamgmparts.com

All the hardware on the grill can be reused. those tabs have locking mechanisms built into the grill and bumper and some of the holes in the tabs take another easy locking mechanism.(you can see them in pics they are white and the tabs are black or yellow(depends on car color)

the only extra parts that are needed are inserts for the splitter winglets, 6 screws for the wingles that come up glove box screw, and locking tabs for dive planes after you push through the slots.

Im not a fan of the Gun metal.. it looks good on the Blue, black, red and grey.. but yellow, silver, blue ice, garnet red and white not so much

Yes $405.00 in Houston at Coatings by Coats.. smaller rims cheaper.

Id like to sell and buy 19s though!


Cant decide Yellow or red caliper though!

finger strength mine are aching ( The bezels were the toughest just wait til you put the new ones in they are very hard to press in) especially the lower corner to outside of the car had to use something to press against the bezel my fingers couldn't do it..

You have to work slow... keeping pressure on the part so once you unlock it by pushing up or down the tab your pointing at has a lip that has to clear on the fascia... keep pressure once it once its cleared or your go to the next one and it lock back in place with out you knowing!

I started along the top outside edge and moved inward.. then did lower side 1st starting on opposite side.

I got em out! Those were the hardest two hours of my life ever. Now I’m onto my next problem. That styrofoam energy absorber I’ve gotten loose but it has two clips that have a plastic weld on them. Do I remove the plastic cement? Do I need to reapply it upon reassembly?

[EDFHOBBIES]

That one I dont know mine had 4 clips.. 2 on top start those 1st 2 on side must slide over to clear stop.. mine were not cemented on the clips should retain it.

all i had to do where push tabs over one direction to cleat the stops.

[FringBirdAloha]

Yep. Someone had put JB Weld or something. I picked it off and it came off normally. Maybe they were working out kinks in the assembly when mine was produced in 10/2016.

***Pro-Tip*** I just shoved thin popsicle like sticks into every tab of the grill and it just pulled right off in about two yanks. I wish I had done this with every other piece.

Thanks to jason for sending the template. About ready to slot.. I ordered another set of dive planes last night skin.. I'm going to finish these up today and wrap the hood the same color as fuel lid.. semi gloss.. not quite as flat as the 1le's 3m flat 12 wrap.

Template seems to line up good probably won't go as wide as the template shows until I test fit back n fourth.

cant wait to see the finished product EDFHobbies!

I'd shave the tabs off of the canards and use 3m moulding tape in a heartbeat.

Try that and see how you like it.. I guess if you find some tape that tough as nails but thin as hair it possible. .
