Hi guys, Just picked up a 14’ swb base and have a few questions.

First, I don't plan on running a front plate so I want to replace the grill lower filler panel with a new non-drilled piece. I’ve already ordered the part but wanted to know if the grill shell/upper slats can be removed without pulling the whole bumper?

Second, planning on doing a coil spring drop (Im non-air) along with the +2mm control arm brackets. I want to run the Tanabe springs but their application only lists 2007-2008. Any issues running these on my 14’? Front suspension parts are the same between between the early models and facelift models right? Thanks!

What is the part number for that "new non-drilled piece" ? I pulled my plate bracket off, and polished under it, It looks worlds better but, close up you can see the holes...

 

The part number I got from the dealer was 52112-50900 for the non-F sport.
I ordered from MyLpartsnow and should be in this weekend.
