Default Re: how to take off grill

i just took mine off two days ago <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" /> . I first pulled the sides out, you have to push in then out to get em out. The bottom came next, just pull hard on the bottom and it should come out. then there are three bolts holding the top. Most people said if you pull real hard the bolts would break easy. but when i tried it i was afraid i would damage the front of my car, so i just cut em with a wire cutter i had. all in all it was easy <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> , took 15 min.
hope this helps.
p.s. you cant reuse the grille after cutting the bolts

i put mine on today and it looks SSweet. I did exactly like the 1st reply except i used pruning sheers to cut the top 3 bolts. Then i drilled 4 1/8th of an inch holes and screwed it in. Couldn't be happier with how it came out <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
