Does the center have to be cut out or is the grille a two piece design? Taking it out this weekend and would like an idea on what im getting into. Thanks!

Its a two piece design and it all pops out.

The chrome trim, and also the plastic stuff. The emblem is also another piece of the grill that pops out.

i just painted my outer part. there's the inner part with the vertical lines and the outer bezel.

i've been waiting a month for my blitz repica grille. it just replaces the inner grille, and fits inside the oem outer bezel. i SHOULD get it next week and will post pics as soon as i get it. i'll let u know how it works out...

ill dont have that grill anymore.
my friend is trying to perfect it and make one for himself. if i EVER get it back ill take pics sir.

when my mom got her new house i used the hook as a "stop now ur car fits in the garage indicator"
once the hook hit this box with Styrofoam. i knew i was good. couse her garage was suupper small . and was filled with crap.
