hook your fingers into the inserts, and pull. If you have a front license plate holder over top of it, remove the screws holding that in, then go back to step one.

I was kinda freaked out by how simple it was the first time i removed it haha

You can either do it by taking off the front bumper cover and getting at the clips on the back or just pull and pry method. It works, just pull hard and gentle at the same time..if that makes any sense.

Damn, are the front grilles really that easy to break? I hit a cat going like 30 about a week ago, which caused my front grille to get knocked off and in turn, being run over by one of my front wheels. I picked it up, dusted it off, and put it right back on, not a scratch on it!

What are you looking to do with the grille after you take it off?

Can someone on here with the know-how explain how to remove the entire front fascia? I'd like to do this when I put in my SS grille this week since I'll have the time to do so and would much prefer this over the yank method.

Again, locations of screws, steps, procedures for front fascia removal?

Thanks!

You don't need to remove the front fasica to remove the grill had I know how it was held on I have a speical tool for removing those push clips...if you break them you can replace em.

You should have checked like fifty feet away. 3500lbs @ 30mph hitting something that weighs 10lbs, you probably sent that bitch SAILING!
