How do you remove the stock the grille on an 01 Camaro? Just wondering how to remove the factory grille on my Camaro, without messing anything up. Does it pop out? Cut out? I want to put a billet aluminum insert in. Thanks y'all, Jesse

A lot of guys will tell you to just yank it out. You can do this without any damage to the bumper cover or finish as long as its the original finish.
If the bumper has been re painted I wouldnt rip it off, the force of the tabs could cause the paint to crack/flake from the distortion/flex. No finish is as durable or flexible as the original when it comes to bumper covers reguardless of weather a flex agen was used or not.

most ppl just pop it off, however when i took mine off I was in the middle of fixing some things on the front end and repainting some brackets so i had the whole from end off, on the back it has 3 nuts and three metal clips, if you just pop it off then you have all that crap sitting in ur bumper...but its ur choice, plus if you take it off right, then you can sell it to someone later.
