Steps
Remove bumper retainers
Release the upper and lower push clips and remove the wheel-well fasteners. Keep each clip type organized because the retainers may differ in shape and locking method.
Remove the bumper and grille
Pull the bumper cover forward from its side guides and unplug fog lamps if fitted. Release the grille clips from the fascia and lift the old grille out.
Install the replacement grille
Align the replacement grille with the fascia openings and engage its clips. Press each clip body fully into place and lock its center pin if that clip design uses one.
Reinstall and verify
Reconnect fog lamps, fit the bumper cover into its guides, and reinstall the wheel-well bolts and push clips. Restore the upper plastic cover and check that all panels sit flush.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
