Just had the same issue. My tab looks like yours. What was your solution? How did you resolve the broken tab? I may need to order a fresh part and may return the grill. Don't want to have the same result on the drivers side.


The small tab side was not cooperative. Took a major effort to free it and it split like yours.

Got it...well if you do find a method we'll be happy to see them. Looks like only option is Zunsport or Rennline for us at this point.

Guys, my dealer did a perfect job for I think $120. Why not have them do the install for you? I’ve got 2k miles in the car now and zero fitment issues.

79USD shipping costs to the UK - that's steep considering the item cost

They probably charge double that to Alaska given they probably insist on shipping via FedEx or UPS...

Right, but some will INSIST on sending it FedEx or UPS... for Alaska that makes it a no purchase item. Unless there's an absolute part I can't get anywhere else, I won't buy from those who insist on shipping this way.

Pull harder and at an angle that is straight/flat w the insert from the bumper. If you pull it off at an aggressive angle it will just stick.

You do need to pry out the clip in the back.

I understand and respect that stance, but its not right to paint RGS with that brush when they do indeed provide you with a USPS option.

Agree, and my comment was not intended for RGS but for those that insist on ripping folks off. Kudos to those who do provide other shipping options. For the former it's just another sweet revenue stream.
