Default Correctly remove the bottom grill on a 96-98 civic

Anybody know how to correctly remove the grille on the bottom so it looks good, i know you use a dremel but i want to make sure it is done the right way so it leaves no unfinished points?

pull your bumper off, look behind it at where the grill attaches, cut all those, grind em smooth and your done. Its not that hard, nobody can really give you exact instructions, but if you just look at it you'll figure it out.

but my car is white, if i cut it off and grind it down there will be black marks where it used to attach and that will look so tacky

theres nothin we can do to help that. I think if the color is a little off it wont be that noticable since you will be cutting towards the inside of the bumper.
