I hear all these peopel talk of yanking their grills off and breaking them and such...


I pulled the right side then the left, then the bottom pieces they jsut come out...

now the other ones are a little harder, I just reached unser and with 2 fingers pulled on it hard till each little snapp came out.

I am pretty confident my old grill can still be slapped on and didn't break anything(well some fo the parts that hold the grill in place. but not too bad.

here is a vid on a way to do it and likely mess up your stock grill...

Just be forewarned, if you have the license plate bracket riveted to the grill, it is also rivited THROUGH your bumber. I put in my SLP grill, and almost made the mistake of trying to rip out the old one. And I will tell you that if you do have the bracket on, then you also have to take the whole bumber off to remove the rivets.

I dont know why you would even care about breaking the old grille, it looks like total crap, I think it is by far the most hideous part on the car. I would rip it off as fast and hard as possible and place it gently in the trash can.

resale... put it back to stock... something... Its not like it I still got mine off in one piece in less then 5 min with no tools.

No one would ever buy a used stock grille from someone, I don't think someone would even take it for free. And again why would you ever put it back on your car. Put it where it belongs, in the trash.

I dont think he meant the grill itself, he meant the entire cars resale value. Unaltered cars are more appealing to most buyers which in turn equals a higher resale value. Chances are if even if a buyer thinks that grill is ugly, theyd rather have the liberty of being able to decide for themselves whether or not it remains on the car.

Good point Joelius. Maybe it's just my age, but if I'm looking at a used sports car like a Camaro, and it's got a lot of aftermarket stuff on it, I hesitate to even look further because there's a good possibility that it was driven hard. I keep all my stock pieces to go back into the car for re-sale simply for that reason; so I too would avoid just ripping it off and throwing it away. But that's just my opinion.

LOL that video reminds me of "detail day" at my house. When all the regulars show up there's 8-10 cars in my driveway and up to 4 in my garage. I have a central vac on each side of the garage (it's too big for just 1, the hose doesn't reach to the opposite side of my cars), a variety of soaps & waxes, all the tools you could ever want, TV, dvd, vcr & surround sound, and a fridge. Saturdays are always a blast at my house when everyone starts comin by when the weather is nice.
