Well I got my grill installed, and it went okay. Got a boo boo on my finger (wore long sleeve shirt and gloves and still got it,lol)
First, for those considering it, it's not easy. I read a bunch of how to's on the net and every one of them left something out, but they were helpful.
The big thing is the 2 screws on the sides of the grille. They are a motherf***** to get to if you have a good set of biceps like I do :/
Anyways, there is a way to get to them without having to be plastic man.
There is a nice access to them near where the headlights are but you won't see it at first because there is a big plastic piece on either side of the radiator covering them up.

Just pop out that pushscrew and pull this aside until you can see the screw for the grill by looking through where the headlights are (I used a piece of duct tape to hold it aside while I removed the screw easily with my stubby phillips. (Driver side pictured)

Then there are four tabs holding the grill in once your get the four screws out. Be careful not to pull too hard or you might damage something.

I had a plan to use a chrome R/T logo with my chrome grill. I decided against getting new wheels and instead had my R/T wheels dismounted,cleaned and refinished. The grill and that logo (along with the R/T on the back) are the only place there is chrome on/in the car and I think it's a good tasteful upgrade. I'm not going for a bling show-stoppa, I want to retain the original look of the car and just make it a bit more "muscular" in certain areas. I like to say I'm going for a "stealthy-muscle car" look, lol. Next upgrade gonna be the R/T bumblebee stripe (which gonna look nice coupled with my hood decals) I ordered it in matte black so it matches my hood decal, ha. If anyone wants to know anything specific just PM me, I left my plate in there, got a new vanity plate coming though .... FAST RT muhahaha

Looks GREAT !!! Nice job.

Thanks, forgot to mention I'm due to have my SLP Loudmouth II installed the end of this week or this weekend. Also, maybe someone knows where I can get a replacement "Vehicle Emission Control Information" decal. Mine seems to be peeling off. Here's a picture of it.

Well sorry I been real busy lately but I will have some pictures from this weekend at a car show up here ASAP. I have the SLP Loudmouth 2 installed now. Had some issues with the bumblebee stripe-mainly the company I purchased it from screwed me, so now I am decal-less which works fine for me too. The company is webxtremes.com and if you click the dodge charger section you will see the bumblebee stripe, it is NOT the kind that goes on a painted surface, it is the kind that goes on a pourous surface. Big difference. I encourage everyone to steer clear of these guys as it cost me $116 bucks. On the other hand, Chris from Nemer sent me a replacement for that Catalyst decal so BIG thanks to him for that. Also, to TByrne for the fantastic exhaust & fast shipping.
