lol and nothing will break and it will be able to go back on? and does it look good that way?

lol i dunno about it going back on, but you can undo the tabs if youre worried about it. a lot of people ditch the grill and just fill in the tab holes.

I a small saw to cut the plastic peices, with extreme care as not to scratch any paint,,,,then I just yanked it.....I know its hard, but it does work BUT now I have painted the stock plastic grille and re-installed it.....

You can either yank it off. Or you can take the front bumper off and get it from behind.

im thinkin silver to go with the car and then either black or chrome inserts but it sounds like its a bitch to get back on properly

you DONT have to put it back on the way it comes from the factory....I did not even put the pins in the rear, i just re-attached the plastic clips on the sides, bottom, and top of the grille, it WONT fall off, trust me, i have been driving with it on that way for about a year now, rain, shine, fast speeds, bumpy roads (I mean very bumpy, I live in Cali..).....

Not a stupid question but this has been asked and answered a million times, just pull, nothing is gonna happen to it and once painted put it back on, it won't fall off, that's what I had done on my previous car...

I pulled the one on my V6 and the top tabs wouldn't come out no matter what I did. I ended up cutting the tabs. Because I did that it didnt' fit tight anymore when I put it back on for the winter. I used some double side tape on the bottom edge to keep it stuck on and it's stayed on fine so far. I didn't like the look without anything and the ugly tab holes there. I have a billet grill for summer but didn't want to ruin it in the snow and salt.
