Fitment = OEM.

Install = Comes with instructions. If you have never swapped lights or taken the front apart, then maybe a 3 on a 1-10 scale and probably 90 minutes start to finish. If you have ever swapped lights, removed the rad cover, etc. it is a 30 minute job at most.

I would agree, if not say its easier than a 3. But out of everything you can do (w/ the exception of changing interior lights ) IMO taking out/reinstalling the grille is the easiest DIY.

Does anyone know the OEM part number for this grille? I called a local dealership and they said that the grille is only made for the sedan or convertible.

Mine chips, i dont think the body shop sanded it before it got painted. The paint job itself is fantastic. Perfect color match.

This might sound weird, but has anything thought about painting the whole grill black except for the two bars that intersect the emblem? I've never heard of anyone trying that, and I wonder how that would look.
