Default How hard is it to install a new grill?

Just got my tax money and I was thinking of getting the SS grill and dropping the plate from the front. Is there any new options out there? How hard is it to change? Any sponsor deals going on right now? (I am going to look too) Thanks!

Just did the SLP grill. Take your time and mark the holes you need to drill and it's easy.

Are intructions included with the grill? I know someone on here said they didn't get instructions. Did you order from Afterthoughts auto? I am thinking of going with them. How long did it take?

Got the SLP Grill from Speed. It did come with instructions and took about 30 min to install.

Did everyone take the bumper off to install the slp grille? I want to do it while it's on there but don't know if I will need a smaller drill. Also what did you use to mark the holes? I tried using a sharpie but it won't fit through the hole to mark the bumper.
