Great pics. I am ordering all new grille parts this winter. I really like the black look. And with the horizontal metal removed it looks more updated (in my opinion). I am not a fan of radically changing a car in any way, but something like this is easily undone with replacement.

How easily do the metal face-plate/metal blades come off of the grille face?
