Yes but in order to install these the bumper cover needs to come off ...

 

It's not hard to do. The front just rips off the car, aside from a few bolts

 

Yeah, I've seen the videos and it seems much simpler than I thought at first so I'm definitely willing to do this myself, and on ramps like you did, lol

But my original question was whether I can just undo the splash shield at the back and pull it off with the bumper cover attached.

I guess the hardest part would then be getting to the side marker connectors to undo them, and maybe the ambient temp sensor ...

 

Yeah, but what's that got to do with removing stock grilles?

 

Well, removing the stock stuff might be as easy as yanking them off, but if I have to remove the bumper cover to install the new ones, why wouldn't I just remove it PRIOR to removing the grilles? lol

 

Not my fault you had to be difficult. :-P

 

LMAO
