or am also considering the M Style double slat. Just can't decide. These are the same price as the single slat:

But having a hard time finding reputable instructions on how to do the replacement myself. Every YT video is for the F series 5. According to all those videos, you just pull on the grills to remove. I don't want to try that with mine...with my luck I'll snap off some vital part. Plus with the active slats, removal and install might be different than on an F series.

If anyone knows a good video or at least step by step guide, that'd be great.

You'll be good man the 3 holes on the top when you open the hood has 3 inserts on the top for the grill as well just push those out slowly with a flathead scewdriver and it should just come off after that you just align the new grill with the inserts and push it in. Takes only two minutes

This is the only vid I've seen for just putting the new one grill on.
