It's pretty easy to remove them - but kind of a minor pain to put them in.

There are four, long phillips-head screws in each block. They have a hook kind of thing that threads on. The hook things tighten up and grab the factory grill from behind when you tighten the screw. (Hmmmm... was that the world's worst description or what? Sorry, maybe I'll take a pic tomorrow to show it a little better.)

No... I went with the NAV system and haven't invested in the Scan Gauge. I probably won't.

Now having said all that - I just did the Fahrenheit to Celsius conversion on your 80 degrees and I'm thinking I'm probably ok. The very maximum temp we are likely to see up here is maybe 95 .... maybe.... for like a day.
