2006 Trailblazer SS Billet Grille Install I just picked up an 06 TB SS, and I love it. Best SUV I have ever driven. I also picked up a billet grille for it, and when I went to remove it I had a few small issues.
I got the top plastic guard off, no problem. I removed the 2 bolts below it, and then unsnapped the grille from the metal frame and then that exposed 2 more bolts at the bottom of the grille attached to the bumper. I unscrewed everything and then when I tried removing the grille it felt like it was still being held in by some clips or bolts. Did I miss something? Becuase I spoke to someone and thay said it takes some force to remove the grille, but I really felt like I was going to break it, and that is the last thing I want to happen.
If someone has already installed one, I woudl appreciate any help you can provide.
And I know it's supposed to be a real quick simple install, but I think I'm just afraid of cracking something.
Thanks,
Bryan

I think you've come to the wrong site for that kind of question 
But maybe you'll get lucky and someone here has done this same thing. How you liking the LS2 in an SUV?

I love it. It def. packed much more of a punch then I could have ever expected! It's a beautiful SUV and handles amazing for the size. I really couldn't ask for much more out of and SUV. I have a Magnaflow exhaust waiting to go on, and new cai in the near future. But I'm def. not disappointed.
