Can somebody recommend a shop

[yzykg]

Hi guys, I'm trying to swap the front grille, but I don't have the jack stands. Based on the instruction I found, I need to get underneath the car to unscrew the panel. Do you guys have any recommendation of a shop can do this less expensively or maybe willing to let me pay some money to use the jack stands? I'm near Wrentham, MA. Thanks in advance.

you definmtely don't need jack stands or a shop to do it. i did it within a few hours and i am NOT a great DIY'er
you may have to turn the wheels from one side to the other when you do each side, but thats it

+1 I swapped my grill in my driveway in about 2 hours and I'm a moron

I put my emblem on upside down and now have to remove the bumper to unclip it. All you need is a torx 25 bit and an extension. Hardest part is getting the one inside under the headlight. Removing the wheels and half the wheel liner makes the whole thing simple. Go to harbor freight and buy their jack stands, its 20 bucks. Or pay me $80 and to get there from Nashua and I'll do it.

I changed my oil lowered on ST's without any jack stands or ramps so I know you can get the plastic belly pan off without jack stands. Good luck.

I am also willing to help you out if needed. If you find yourself in NH, swing by.
+1 for not going to a shop for this

It requires more than just removing the plastic belly pan. There is a screw that aligns the front bumper, inside right below the headlights and if you're lowered you MUST remove you wheels and peel back the liner to reach it.

^i found it easiest to remove the headlights to access that bolt. Vs. messing with the wheel liner, using a socket extender, etc.
But yes, It is a tad more involved than removing the pan/skid plate. but a few screws and an hr or two of time and its a simple job.

Ahh good tip, will try that next time around.

I did not remove my wheels nor did I use jack stands when I removed my bumper. I just took the 2-3 screw out of the wheel liner to get to the 2 screw on the back of the bumper.

If we are talking about the same spot. I'm not entirely sure what bolts you are talking about.

Are you driving an 8v ? On stock height with that huge wheel gap I could see it but it would still be easier to just jack up and pop the wheels off . Trust me I tried and it was not worth it. There are two screws per side(inside). One that is upside-down and a smaller one that is a foot deep within. I took off 6-8 screws to remove the front half of the liner and my wrists get scratched anyway.

Sorry didnt mean 8v, just 14/15 models in general. I see where I could be wrong maybe the smaller car leaves you with less space to reach in with?
