From what i have read or been told the swap out on a replacement front grille should be a piece of cake. Then someone told me that you have to take the whole front bumper off the car????..Someone tell me this isnt so...

I didn't have to.... that doesn't mean that there aren't grills out there that the instructions tell you to do so.... but if you are talking about a v6 specific grill (not shoehorning a GT grill into the v6) then it really only takes a few minutes. couple of push pin fasteners, some tugging and persuading, and old grill is out, line up new grill and snap in place. Easy squeazy.

The grille is v-6 specific. Its a 3D carbon billet. So it should not require pullin the front off the car??

no. They really are a 15 min in driveway swap, especially since there aren't any lights to hook up or wiring to do. Show pics when u r done.
