remove front grill
I want to remove the front grill on my camaro. I want to know the best way to fill the wholes from the grill. What is the best thing to use. I have done somebody work before, but on older cars.
Thanks

I removed the black plastic piece from my red car. I can imagine that the holes are not too noticeable on a dark colored car, but in my opinion on red and other bright colors it is really obvious. I had the holes filled by a pro bumper reconditioning shop on my car.

M6 with Lou's short stick.
In my case the bumper was cracked from a [CENSORED] tow truck backing into me (and no, he wasnt even going to tow me, just reversed without looking) and the insurance paid for fixing the crack and painting the bumper anyway and I had the filling of the holes done while they were at it.
I have a couple more pictures in my garage.

I paid 250 for fixing the crack and having the holes filled in and 400 for repainting the bumper. This is Silicon Valley though, so I think it's probably cheaper elsewhere.

I used Kitty hair, which is a long stranded fiberglass filler, and finish off with the glaze putty. Make sure you sand the spot good before you use the fiberglass. Even inside the hole...

cant you just have the plate in the front windshield?
and how do you get the grille out? just give it a good yank?!
and what about using bondo to fill the holes and then spray painting the inside of the grille flat black to cover it up?!

Idaho law requires the plate on the front bumper in plane site. Just give it a good yank, but you will break the tabs that hold the grill in place. You can take off your front bumper and remove them from the back just in case you need the grill for future use.
