Anyone have experience installing a grill from B-Cool Billets?

I just got mine from eBay, and was a bit surprised to find out I had to cut out the existing grill. Maybe its just me, but if it involves cutting it doesnt qualify as "easy". Anyways, the grill is VERY nice looking, but I was wondering if there was any differences between the 03 Coupe and 04 Roadster when it comes to the front grill before I break out the saw and start cutting...



Ideas, suggestions and words of encouragement will be greatly appreciated, as I am all thumbs when it comes to automotive handywork...

 

bling bling!

 

as far as i know, the bumpers are the same.

you can do it!!!!

seriously though... personally i dont have the guts to start hacking into my bumper with a saw. good luck with it. be sure to post pics when you are finished.

 

i just noticed your TAG thingamjic!~~

that is AWESOME!~ very creative might i add...how it says "350z" and it resembles the 350z...VERY NICE!~~~~~~ i like

 

I just got done with the install. You are right - hacking into the bumper with a saw was not one of my brightest ideas. The install was a PITA, I also got the wrong screws and I scratched my arm trying to tighten the thing. 6 hours later, I am done.

Having said all this.... it does look cool. Pics soon.

 

Had I known I had to cut out the OEM grille, I would not have bought this grill. Also, the instructions were VERY weak, and I got a wrong set of screws (they would not fit). I also had to sand and paint the bumper where I cut so it wouldnt look nasty. So, after hacking my way through my baby with a saw, a trip to Home Depot, sanding, painting and about six hours of my day, this is what I got...



The quality of the grill itself is great, and all in all I am happy with the END result. However, not sure if it was worth it, and I would definitely not do it again knowing what I know now...
