    I'm in the process of installing a challenge grill on F355. Any information of how to remove old grill and install challenge grill will be appreciated. Pictures of step by step installation will be great.

    You might want to replace all the bulbs in the third brake light, as long as you are in there, and have gone to the trouble of drilling out the rivets for the black trim peice. Also, some folks prefer to use short sheet metal screws (painted black) instead of using new rivets for reinstalling, to make it easier in they have to get back in there for any reason. (replaced third brake light bulbs or replace panel back to stock)

    Received my challenge grill from the UK today, took 4 days for delivery, removed old grill 30 min. installed challenge grill 25 min., replaced rivets with 2 small black head screws, done. The rear grill looks great and it is functional. I can’t wait to take the car out as soon as the weather gets better here in Chicago.
