Mate, it's easy. You can do it yourself.
It's just a couple of screws on the top (like along the top of your radiator) and there not even real screws, they're those plastic ones for moulds/guards.
Have a shot a getting the old one out and you'll see how the new one will clip right in.
The screws are just to secure the top, the rest of the grille just presses in and clips in place.
Good luck

Maybe its just me, but when I swapped in a JDM honeycomb type, even after I removed the top 'screws', it wasnt obvious how the clips/tangs came out, and I was very cautious about breaking any of the plastic. Take it slowly, wriggle it lots, and have a good light source so you can see things around the back properly.

Contact Phat GT at forumparts@gmail.com. Not only will he give you a better price than JapanParts (including shipping), but he will be able to tell you straight off whether or not it will fit, and order you the correct part. That way you leave out the guest work which most people have to do with JapanParts because there are so many parts available.

If you've already ordered the part and paid then probably best to ask them to make sure it's the right part. I know for the standard 3RB bumper, this one will definately fit. http://www.japanparts.com/images/ImageF ... 1&no=11092

In future, best to contact PHAT-GT in the Vendors section. He is very knowledgeable, and get you parts faster, cheaper.

As far as instructions are concerned, it may come with the item, but if it doesn't it's very easy.

Take the screws out from the standard grill by carefully using a flathead screwdriver to pop it out
Once you've taken the standard grill off, i believe the corazon grill should come with some double sided tape you can place under the flat part of the grill. If it doesn't , just place some under there for more stability.
After you've done that, just position it and pop the screws back in
