It's my Panel, got a chip on my 3 bar, after the work I put in on it, I will save it for summer. I like the bently one better but this one is chip proof and came with both upper and lower, I will probably black chrome it.

If you use two nuts and tighten them together on the stud it should come out easily.

Use the studs

I used small pointy locking pliers and gripped the stud right where it enters the grille. Lock the pliers and slowly back them out.

Studs and the nuts wont strip out. The self tappers are great for a quickie install and hell if you remove them often. I changed my grilles out alot.

You talking to me about the front spoiler? If so, yes, between that and the new tires I'm averaging around 22MPG around town (I do no highway driving...90% of my driving is between 40-50 MPH).

I finally tried some regular fuel in the panel, averaging 24.5. I expected better when I bought it, and yes the visor inhibits the air flow, but I won't give it up it came with it when I bought it.

Yes it is the grill you sold me, should have told me it was a pain in the butt to install..
