Default camaro front grille removal

Has anyone taken out their Camaro front grille? If so how easy or hard is it and where are the mounting locations?

Thanks

yeah, sorry I forgot to do a search before I asked! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> But that sounds a little scary to just yank it out, because I am going to put the same one back in. I just want to take it out to do my vinyl stripes.

There is a way to remove the stock POS grille without destroying it. It's a waste of time if you ask me. You should get one from SLP...either the SS or the Chevy bowtie grille. I don't know exactly how to remove the stock one properly. There was a thread about it a while back. It was pretty detailed.

Good Luck!

I think about the only way to remove it safely is by removing the front fascia, I would just as soon replace it with the SLP SS grille before removing the fascia.

search saftely remove front grill. don't use the yank method, There is a thread, I say again don't do the yank method, you can get to it for underneath although it is a huge PITA you will save your stocker.

okay.. did this already, do not pull it out! i did it the hard way and just took off the whole front bumper. Its really not hard it just takes time. takes about an hour to get it off if ur doing it for the first time. Well worth it when ur saving urself $130 just so you can do it "quicker" IMO. PM me and i can tell you where the bolts are and what u need to do.

One word.. YANK Well it worded for me

Taking off the front bumber is easy.. and while you are there you can swap in some clear turn signals..

There are clips at the bottom and sides. Those come out easily.

There are 3 "plastic bolts" if you will, across the top. They are plastic rods/nubs, with a self tapping nut on the backside... If you get in behind there, you can unthread those nuts, and not have to break the plastic nubs.
