Anyone have the directions for installing the ABT grill??

I was just wondering how this thing is installed.. Is it inserted from the front?? If so then why do you have to remove the bumper?? Thanks

Although I installed the Projectzwo grille the process is the same...

go to link and the 'Cars' then 'TT' and Projectzwo install...the only change to the install noted...thats to Steve (TTschwing) being willing to experiment...you now do not have to remove the small plastic side clips to release the front fascia in the area where it meets the car just in front of the front wheels...just have to remove the first (and easy to get to) torx screw of the plastic clip...you can get to this (as pics show) after removing front wheel well liners. Then just pop of fascia in that area...rest of install instructs are correct as noted. Look at pic of tools needed...important! Any other questions just let me know<ul><li><a href="http://www.battcall.com">Grille Install</a></li></ul>

You might consider removing the ABT badge...

The Quattro badge that came on the OEM grill was a perfect choice to fill the void left by that ugly ABT advertisement/logo
