Default Removing chrome bits...

How hard is to remove the chrome pieces from the front bumper and side vets (not my car, but I have the same things)?

I cant say 100% for sure. But it’s really easy, assuming the set up is similar to my XJ. The quickest and most simple way is to remove the wheel well liner. Which is straight forward. For the side vent I believe there are 4 bolts easily accessible. And for the for the front grill it will be clipped in, you gotta pry it off carefully. With the wheel liner removed you have plenty of space to work for both grilles. For the side vent you have to at least remove the back side of the wheel liner to access it, and for the grille the other way to do it is to remove the front bumper. Which IMO over complicates things. And at the end you have to at least partially remove the wheel liners wither way in order to get the bumper off. So might as well work from the wheel well area? Like I said this is how the setup is on my XJ, assuming it would be similar on yours as well. Hope this helps
