Just bought a new Kamei Grille for B5. I bought it used and doesn't have the instruction. It would help if anyone can tell me in detail of how to install it. Thanks.

unscrew two screws on top of the grille (they hold little rubber triangles) with a screw driver you will pray out the stock grille, there are 6 tabs I think... then once its out you will just put in the grille in place and use the 2 screws to attach it :) ... its very straight forward...

I have the instruction somewhere in the garage, I can scan them and sent them to you tomorrow if you need it :)

Pop the hood, remove the OEM grill with a screwdriver to losen all the clips (this is the "hard" part). Then place the Kamei in position, you will notice the two screws on top. Losen those and remove the rubber pads and put the Kamei in and fasten the screws w/ pads.

Done in 5-10 minutes

Thanks for all the help. I finally installled it but I can see the inside the grille. My car is white and I can see white bars when looking at the grille. Doesn't look that nice. Is this normal or not?

installing this grill was a peice of cake. It took me 10 minutes to put it in the first time and that was in the rain!

it was a group effort... most of the time was spent trying to rip off the stock grill with out taking the front bumper with it!
