How to get camaro grill off
I see on the sides how it snaps in by the flaps on the grill into the slots on the inside of the bumper. But what about the top and bottom/center? whats going on behind there? I'd like to get this off and clean behind there .

Hey,
I did that on my 98 Camaro, it's kind of a pain in the ***... Once I pulled the two sides out, I used a screw driver and pried the center and bottom off. It's really hard and you need to pull to get it off. Maybe someone has an easier way of doing it, but it took me a good 15-20 min of tugging and pulling and prying cause I was afraid of breaking something. But you wont, thats really durable plastic.

yeah I definitely will not risk any harm to the car like that, I'd rather leave the grille on , I'll think about taking the bumper off. So when you put a new grill on for example the slp grill, do you have to get behind the bumper to fasten it? If so I'd do it all at once. Please let me know. It's good to hear some of you are smarter and don't just "yank the som bitch".

Don't YANK it off. Pull hard with force to "load" the bumper and then jerk it one good time. I sat on my *** in front of the car and put my feet on both sides of the bumper around the grill to hold it in place so it wouldn't flex so much. It was pretty easy to me. Took less than a minute.
