Re: how easy is it to install a billet grill ? I just installed my billet grill the other day and it was a piece of cake! 5 Minutes Tops! Just takes a 1/8" drill bit and 4 screws.
My car is black but for a white car you should mask off the area behind the grille and paint it flat black or it will look really bad as the white body color will shine through.
Here is a pic of my new grille, sorry I don't have a white pic for you.

Re: how easy is it to install a billet grill ? Yeah, I gotta say it was a very easy install. Be sure you rough up the paint before you paint it black. I would also recommend you use a flat black. Oh, and don't for get the clear corners, they make a big difference, you will also want to get some yellow bulbs at the same time.

Re: how easy is it to install a billet grill ? very nice fellas, thanks for the info and the pics, one more question, i have seen the billet grills that install over the stock plastic one, are those any good or are the ones that replace the stock one much better?
