This weekend I color matched my grill and cowling.
Taking the grill off was easy and straight forward... But the cowling was a bit difficult. And there were no real clear instructions I found so I'm going to walk through that here.
First remove the wipers but remember how they were sitting.
You have to remove the two bolts on the exterior on the driver and passenger side.
Then open the hood and pull out the push pins that hold the pad on and that hold the cowl itself to the firewall (these are vertical). There are 4 that hold the pad on and I believe 6 that hold the cowl in place.
Now the tricky part...
Close the hood about 3/4 of the way, and then (a buddy is helpful) you need to push the cowl toward the rear of the truck with slight downward pressure, then pull the back of the cowl up. The clips hook in from the rear.
The cowl comes out in 2 pieces. There are 2 clips on the driver side piece and one on the passenger side.
Once loose remove the washer hose from the nozzles. (Pull/twist towards the passenger side)
Then you have to lift a little and push the driver side towards the windshield and back, while getting the passenger side pulled towards the front and out. Then they should come out. Install is basically reverse. But it'll still be a little tricky.
Anyways.. Without further ado, hers the pictures...
And I know, I ran out of paint on the grill but had to put the clear on. So I'll have to sand it down and redo it later. This the "kinda" haha
