Grille Delete tutorial

[50hhh]

Anybody know of a forum post or write up on the best way to do the grille delete? I googled it but theres not much other than pictures of it after its removed. I haven't been behind the grille to see how its attached. Do you have to cut all the honeycomb out or is it a two piece setup that comes out from behind? Googled the delete and some people said you have to take the whole bumper off. Is that true? I didn't want to cut it up if I don't have to.

You probably just need to remove the bumper. On my 13 Fusion, once the bumper was removed it was two bolts and a bunch of clips. I assume it would be the same here, but don't quote me on that.

Yea I was hoping it was a two piece design. I want to keep the outside of the grill and the fangs but get rid of the honeycomb in the middle.

You have to remove the front bumper to get the grilles out but the grille is only 1 piece. You have to cut the honeycombs out with a dremel to do the delete

That's what I was afraid of. I had hoped to not tear the grill up so that if I didn't like it I could put it back in. Guess its an all or nothing on this one lol.

I used the following PDF to remove my first front fascia to swap out grilles, courtesy of Lethal Performance: http://www.lethalperformance.com/do...al_performance_2015_grille_delete_install.pdf
