    Looks good Nate! Much more aggressive than the standard grill. Love the upgraded exhaust you put on as well. Enjoy it!

    I need to do this too. Where did you get the grill?

    Love the challenge grill look. Tightens up the back end of the car SO much.

    The challenge grill really is a must on this car. Not as big of must as exhaust upgrade, but close!

    If you drive the car hard in hot weather, you will appreciate this grill.

    The first person to say anything negative about my number plate. I guess you're entitled to your own opinion.

    I did the same thing. A dealer gave me a quote for purchase and install of the grill. I thought it over and bought one at Ricambi, less than the dealer's discounted price, and put it on myself following directions posted here.

    I enjoyed the project. Worth more than the savings just doing the work. I'd recommend it to anyone as it is an easy project with little chance of complications - although I heard of people who had rear hatch sensor problems afterwards.

    Maybe kinda on/off topic, Anyone ever installed Front Challenge Grills? Anyone have any install steps for that? i haven't seen yet, or maybe i havent looked hard enough?
    I was thinking about putting them on mine to match the back

    Nick, I have not installed the challenge grils in the front yet. A friend of mine has and the process is very simple. Unscrew the undertray, there are four large nuts in the center and two smaller ones on each side near the side marker lamps. Use some blue painter's tape on the bumper because it will want to tilt when you remove the bumper. Unhook the side marker lamps while someone helps you remove the bumper. I'm going to be doing this soon. I'll let you know how it goes.

    ^ Just make sure and spend the extra money and buy Fcar genuine front grills and not the Ebay knock offs. There have been documented posts about knock off front grills breaking and puncturing radiators.

    I'm one that likes the original look better AND I do not plan to flail it in hot weather - we have none in Oregon. The instructions are still spot on. I have a Challenge Grill for sale now. Walt
