I need your help!

Iam shipping my car from US to UAE, and i brought the front and the side grilles, but unfortunatly the shipping company didnt allow me to put those in the car.

And the air shipping is expensive, So is there a way i can hide those grilles like under the seats or anywhere else without damaging them?

The installtion based on my dealer in US said it's almost 150$, which is too much ! And i prefer doing them here which will not be more than 15$ !

So anywhere else we can hide them in the car ?

I don't believe there is a space anywhere in the RRS where you could "hide" them without them being seen. Can you not have them boxed up and lashed down in the boot (trunk) area?

Black Range, if the car is in Los Angeles I would be happy to do that mod for you, free of charge. It takes a whopping 3 minutes.

I can't believe dealers won't do the switch for free. My dealer had the nerve to tell me the switch would take over an hour. I did mine in under 5 minutes. The front grill has like 5 clips on the top, once flicked the grill comes out, new one goes in the same(15 seconds). For the side vents i used plastic collar stays from a dress shirt. had a friend pull on the on the side vent, poked it in and released the tab, repeated the same thing on the other side. now that i'm thinking about it, i think it took 4 minutes.

wow the dealer has really got you by the nuts. He knows it will only take 5mins to do and shouldn't be charging you anything for the install but he also knows you don't seem to have much of a choice. Sorry about that, wish I could help you somehow.

I finally let the delaer do the front one, while the side will be hidden under the rear seats.

Thanks guys for your help:)
