Default Stock camaro grill removal...?

Since the search isn't working... can some one tell me how to get that damn thing off...? Can I just rip it off or is it going to damage anything?

Everyone rips them off. May take some 2" wide blue painters tape and cover the paint right up next to the grill to help protect the paint.

you need to take the front panel off the car off if you want to keep the grille in a reconnectable state

Thats exactly what I did

I then detailed and waxed the entire car... I can't believe it's the same car I picked up at eastside a couple weeks ago. I can't start under the hood until I have the rest of the parts we need... so I figured maybe I could make it atleast look decent

As everyone said cover the ecu and electrical stuff near the back of the engine bay, take some simple green and dilute it with water, then spray the entire engine bay. Let it sit for like 5-10 mins, spray it off, then do it again fi tis still not clean. I was nervous doing it but then finally sacked up and did it and it worked awesome. If you spray it off with a mr. clean spotless wash thing it looks even better or use a leaf blower to dry everything.

Cover the computer. Then take a plastic bag and throw it over the alternator and cover that with aluminum foil so it stays in place. Other than that, your good to spray it down.
