Remove Grille Inserts
Anyone know how to remove the chrome grille inserts? I’ve searched, but haven’t come across a guide for how to get these off? Looking to black them out. Thanks.

Big Job
You must remove the entire bumper cover to get at them. Try doing it in place its much easier.

You can remove the grille for disassembly after removing front bumper. Here is a detailed guide for each of those steps:

Ok, this is super helpful. Was not thinking entire bumper and grille removal was needed just for the inserts smh.
