Default How to remove upper radiator shroud? SSRA install

I'm trying to install the SSRA. I found the 2 white fasteners just behind the hood latch mechanism and have those unhooked, but I can't seem to find where the other two fasteners are. The instructions say they are on each side of the radiator about half way down.

I see nothing there.

How do I get this piece of crap off?

Are you referring to the plastic air deflector that sits in front of the a/c condensor and radiator?

If your talking about the air deflector, go under your car and reach up, you'll find it in the "legs" of the deflector. Just pull it towards the front of the car and it'll pop right off the notches

Thanks, I finally found it. I was looking from the top down at first which explains why I couldn't see ****.

It was actually a lot easier after I removed the lower shroud first. I think they should reverse the order in the instructions so it's not so confusing.

Got it on and it actually looks pretty cool.

Destroyed my brand new dremel though, first time I used it. Should have just used the hack saw to begin with.

Yeah, I went and got a $20 Jigsaw from Wal-mart to do my cutting.

How'd it turn out? Any hood rub?
