Just sold my old chrome grill to another member with the same colored truck who is doing the same thing.

My brother ordered his colored grill from ebay (Henson), and it came with chrome billet inserts.

It's called Jerry rigging and it is only for the best of us. If you don't have duct tape or some yellow rope and some clear hose then don't even try to attempt a procedure like this at home. LOL You gotta have faith in yourself, if you have a good long look you can always figure out how stuff works. Good Luck and I hope you get what you are looking for.

I have a yellow sport CC. I don't mind the chrome grille, but I would like the black inserts or horizontal bar. I just don't care for the chrome honeycomb. The 3rd. gen was simple to change the insert. Do you have to pull the grille to change the inserts on the 09?
