I have the Race Mesh (Z06) 4 chamber grill and it is a replacement for the OEM grill so to install it correctly you DO need to take off the bumper.
The one piece grill slips in from the front (and in front of the OEM grill) and is attached by zip ties or something similar.

I have a dilemma on my hands, I have a new 2013 Cyber Gray GS and need advice on the mesh. Should I go with Electro plated stainless, black chrome or Tuxedo? I am leaning toward the electric stainless but don't want the car to look tacky. Also thinking of the four chamber version.
Thoughts? Thanks

(You do have to take the bumper off to install the 4 chamber grill though.)

Unless they have changed how they make the 4 chamber grill this is not correct.

Peter, I placed my order on Apr. 23 for Item #RMPGC6Z06L-EPSS, Lower intake grill - polished stainless steel finish, but I haven't received any confirmation of my order. I'm just checking to make sure that you did receive the order. Payment was sent at the same time using PayPal. Also, do you have an estimated date of delivery. Thanks.

Beautiful car! I installed the full 8 piece racemesh on my Z06 with the replacement four chamber grille, just wanted to mention that I was able to install the grille without removing the bumper, it took some time to figure out how to do it, but then went very smoothly.

I guess it might be possible if you have it up on a lift. Didn't you have to take out the air duct that attaches to the bumper (behind the grille) to be able to get to the screws that hold the grill in place, not to mention all of the retainers that have to come out.
Now knowing which fasteners need to be removed, I'm guessing I could now do it in an hour or so.

I lifted the front of the car with my floor jack (& cross beam adaptor), then removed the lower driving lights to gain better access to fasteners & then removed fasteners on the lower air dam so I could get my hands in front of the radiator. I'm not saying it was easy, but after I was able to get my hands where I needed them, I was able to remove all of the hardware holding the grille. I then put the new one in place, and it attached fairly quickly in reverse order.
