    I removed my grille, painted it, and reinstalled it in about 2.5 hours (rush to get to drag strip lol) and I was able to pick out all the grass and stuff that got stuck in the paint on the way home so I imagine it cleans pretty easy.

    Chrome grill = only flaw in the car. If I had the Ralliart chrome around the entire grill I'd be happy but I don't :(

    It's actually really easy. Pop off your radiator cover. There are about 5-6 caps you can get off with a flathead screwdriver. Just pop the inner circle up then pull them out with your hands. Then take off the 2 phillips head screws on your snorkel. Take off the cover and put it aside. Then there are 5 screws holding on the chrome grille with mesh included. Take off the 2 outermost screws on either side then the one in the middle. After getting those out carefully remove the tabs (they'll break if you bend them too much). There should be 4 or 5 tabs and you just pull the grille out of the front. After you get the entire grille out take out the remaining 4 screws to seperate the mesh and the chrome part. Sounds hard but it's really easy. If you need pics i'm sure you can just look around and find something :p
