'67 Shelby style grille

[lonepalm]

I just purchased a 3d Carbon center foglight grille and I've got a question for those of you who have done an install. Do you really need to remove the front bumper? I was hoping there was an easier way.

No way do you need to remove bumper.

1. Remove rad cover, 8 or so push pins
2. there are 4 tabs on grill, 2 top corners, 2 bottom corners, above each other, about 2 inches apart vertically on each side.
3. GENTLY (with a thin screwdriver) push those tabs in. The bumper tabs, not the grill.
4. you will see the grill tabs pop out.
5. remove the 4 torx screws on each fog
6. plug in fog light extensions
7. use screws to secure fogs in new grill
8. push grill back in, in will pop into place, just check the clips.

That's it, should take about 30 min at most.

Good luck and post some pics, I have the same one.

If you need pics I will get some tomorrow.

Thanks guys. After I read the installation instructions I knew there must be an easier way . Now I just have to find time to put it on.

One does not find time, one makes time, now get your priorities right.

No problem man. That looks great, I think that is the best front end mod I have done thus far.

You're right, I'm glad i got it. 3dCarbon is selling blemishes on ebay. Starting bids are $59.99 with a buy it now price of $65.00 +$20.00 shipping. They state they are missing some mounting tabs. I figured it was worth a chance and mine was missing only one tab on the bottom left, you'll never know once it's installed.

They also have the best fitting. The other ones I saw had a problem with the fogs hitting the rad. These just fit in there nicely.
