there are some trim clips you'll need to remove with either a small flat-tip screwdriver. however, you do not have to remove the bumper. the top 3? are easy to remove. the others, you'll need to sort of bend the grill out of the way to push the clips out.

Wow i mean maybe he wants some insight before he goes pushing and pulling. perhaps breaking the grill or the clips that are ontop.



Actually, There is 5 push clips on the top of the grill, Youll see them once you open the hood. Underneath the grill is 4 Screws holding it to the bumper. Those are a bit tough to get to without removing the bumper, but if youve got a short philips screw driver and skinny arms you can reach them.

Just stated my opinion so don't quote me if you don't like it walk away, what part of "NO DIS" don't you understand ?

wow guys give the guy a break actually i was going to ask the same question i'd prefere NOT to break the damn thing im sure he has the same mind set. its not that big of a deal seriously. and just cuz you say "NO DIS", doesnt mean he isnt gonna get offended anyways. common sense

just get out there and start pulling the clips off. I took my bumper off to do mine. Its really not hard, trust me, once you get out there and start doing it you'll figure it out easy.

I say the best advice is to get a Helm's Manual, that thing is the bible for a car, tells you how to do everything, and you ppl are mean dude lol...ppl are just trying to learn...it's simple, take 5 clips off, remove the bumper (the screws are hard to get to) so just do yourself a favor and remove the bumper, it's not that difficult. It's all apart of learning and I hope you enjoy the process man....good luck...although its very very easy lol. OH YEAH, when you remove the 4 screws after the clip, the grill slides out of the bumper through these clips holding it in place, so don't try yanking it UP or any other way, it slides forward and out.

srsly wtf is with all these people who just want to act like jackasses? OK, the EASIEST way to get your front grille off is to remove the bumper, then you can get at everything that connects it to the bumper.

Bumper removal is easy, 1 screw in each wheel well and 2 bolts underneath the front of the car along with the push clips across the top under the edge of the hood. Then just pull it off and you can see what is holding the grille onto the bumper.

But on top of that, people would ENJOY helping you if you typed normal. Please do not type "dat" or "dey".

Feel free to talk like that in person to your buds, but type like a normal person here, and you will get way more help.
