removing the stock grille?

The left and right side snap off, but there are screws on the center ones that when i reach behind i can feel.. but it seems it would be impossible to get to.. how do you manage to take the front grille off?

(im going to take it off and put the black camaro inserts on the body itself where the camaro is engraved)

Re: removing the stock grille?

im afriad ill like break my bumper off... lmao... it looks like the person who owned it before me got in a wreck b/c the bumper doesnt match up with the hood exactly if u look at my cardomain. but thanks.. ill do that..

what do you think would look better, a billet grille, or putting black letters over the camaro in the front grille..

or..

putting stripes down the grille.

Stripe it and black out the letters. My friend put the billet grill on and I didnt think it looked as good as what he paid for. Oh and be careful just pulling, Ive heard some peoples that have the front plate housing there are rivets holding it down. But those should be visible...

Re: removing the stock grille?

i got it off but where the snap on's were theres so much dirt -- and my car is white, looks terrible.. im going to crefully clean either part tomorrow.. also there is a crack in the bottom of my bumper that i never noticed before, maybe ill go get that fixed, a body shop would just have to patch it i believe.

I just washed and waxed my car today, looks great besides the crack in the front grille (bumper) / the dirt in the holes where the grille was >.<

Try a soft bristled toothbrush and if it wants to be stubborn get some thinner, but BE CAREFUL as it will eat through your clear and paint if you leave it on to long or build up to much friction scrubbing.
