Carbon Fiber Side Grills Replacement
I just swapped out my stock chrome side grills with the (very pricey) carbon fiber optional grills.
It was extremely easy to do. It took no longer than 5 mins to replace. They look perfect as I added a carbon fiber front lip. IND has a very short vid that shows how-to. It was even easier than what they showed. So, if there are others that are thinking about doing this cosmetic upgrade - just do it! |

Just did this today myself. Not hard as you describe but that noise when you finally pop it off is somewhat uncomfortable, lol.

"Not hard as you describe..." is agreeing with him. I didn't say, "It's not as hard as you describe..."

But I'll say again, it's unnerving when that puppy pops off. At least it was for me.

Doing the front grills is even more jarring. Enjoy the ride!

MXNSITH,
I know what you mean. When I popped it off, it kind of sounded like it had broke off some of the Tabs, but, it didn’t. However, I’m keeping the chrome pair “just in case.” Happy Driving Guys!!! |

Which did you guys go with? I ordered an aftermarket brand and fitment was horrible. I ended up with the M performance while more expensive fit and finish are top notch.
Install is beyond super easy.. Anyone can do it! |

Fitment is great, very similar like OEM.

OEM. Had a 15% off coupon so figured that was a good route. I also wanted the carbon fiber to match the look in the mirror caps and wasn't sure if after market would be a direct match.
