Question: Replacing the lower grill

My lower left grill got hit by a rock and took a nice chunk out of it. I ordered the part but was curious if anyone knows if I can use a pry tool to get it out or if I have to remove the bumper. I'm hoping for the first since I'm extremely lazy

I know the middle needs the whole bumper off, but not sure bout the little side ones.

For FL cars, you have to remove the DRL surround to access 2 of the screws. There are 4 T25 (T20 maybe?) torx screws, one on each corner. Super easy.

Okay, PFL is probably similar. I'll check it out when I get home, thanks Blk!

For that one, you might be able to pull the fender liner and access the tabs. I don't remember there being any screws on the lower grilles when I replaced mine. I'll be honest though. It's been awhile since I replaced mine or peeked behind the fender liners.

I need to replace mine as well.
It looks like I should be able to replace it by taking out the cover under the car and accessing the clips from there.
Need to use a lift of course.

Will let you know once I do it

I hate those lower grilles. I swear they are made of toothpicks. They break all the time. Mine have broken 3 times. On my lexus, they never broke in 212k...and I hit an armadillo once!

Yea, they're way thinner than I thought they would be. First time I've ever had to replace a grill on a car. At least they're (somewhat) cheap.
