How to Install Billet Grille

Manufacturers can churn out hundreds and thousands of cars without a problem. These cars have uniform looks, features, and components. When buyers drive home their brand new car from the dealer, they know that thousands of people all over the world are driving the same car and are having the same experience. That's why customization is so attractive for most buyers. It gives you an individuality that can make ownership special.

There is nothing more frustrating than to drive around town and then suddenly be stuck with another car in the same color, design, and aesthetics as yours. It gives you the feeling that you're just another car owner in the neighborhood. The aesthetics and personal touches on your car are things that can eliminate this feeling by differentiating you from others.

It is rewarding to see envious glances going your way when other car owners like the customized styling you chose for your vehicle. One way to achieve a highly personalized and compelling look for your car is to install billet grilles. Some of the things you need to complete this task include:

  • Billet Grille
  • Cutting Grinder
  • Ratchet Pliers
  • Adjustable Wrench
  • Allen Wrench
  • Screwdriver Socket

Step 1: Remove the Existing Grille

Remove existing parts of the grille to place the new grille assemblies into place. Truck owners should take note that they might need to take out the entire front grille from the bolts and body clips to secure the customized billet grille. It is important to begin by disconnecting the battery from the power source. Be sure to take the remove the battery cable with it to guard against short circuit. Certain grilles can only be installed after the removing the body parts surrounding the turn signals and headlamps.

Step 2: Cut the Old Grille Parts

Use a hand-held grinder to cut the old grille parts of your vehicle. This will smooth out any rough edges that may be caused by the removal of a grille. Proper cutting allows the new billet grilled to slide easily into place. It will also be more secure.

Step 3: Attach the Grilled Using Fasteners

The next step is to attach the billet grille into the opening using the fastener or brackets included in your billet grille package. The clips are further secured to the frame using rivets or self-tapping screws that hold it together. In some cases, it may involve using screwdrivers to remove the old parts from their support. In some cases, the billet grille is designed to "bolt on". In other cases, an additional bracket may be necessary for the new grille to be installed properly.

Step 4: Finish the Installation

Replace the front clip and protective parts around the headlamp and radiator of the vehicle to finish the installation. The body fasteners can be used to tighten each piece. Take note that it is important to secure everything because the front of a vehicle is susceptible to jostling and tire shakes on rough roads.

radio does not turn on in the 2000 Hyundai Tiburon after battery installation?

I installed a new battery and everything works fine, but the car radio does not operate. I heard from a friend who knows a lot about cars that it is the fail-safe on the car radio. Once it is disconnected from the battery, it does not turn one without a code. Problem is, my car is "pre-owned" and did not come with the owners manual, so I am stuck with a radio that does not operate.

Any ideas?

You should be able to get the code from a dealer if it is the original radio. Give the service department a call and ask.
