how do you remove the grill without removing the bumper? how many screws are there and where are they located? also does anyone know is the grill that comes off a 98 dx hatch a 1 or 2 piece grill?

 

The DX is a 2 piece, and it is practically impossible to remove the grill without removing the bumper. There are like 4 screws holding it on and they are just below the grill. I could take off 2 bumpers and grills and reinstall them before someone could take off 1 grill while on the car.

 

damn..so whats the fastest and easiest way to remove the bumper? what tools do i need?

 

Well every bumper is different. On mine I have a phillips head screwdriver on one side and then a nut and bolt on the other side. My friends has zip ties on one side.

What you could do is just take off one side, then remove all the screw/clips on the radiator support and then slide the bumper over to 1 side.(the side that you didnt remove the fastener from) and then take off the grill.

So you WILL need a phillips head screwdriver, but I dont know how the sides of your bumper are held.

 

alright thanks. im gona try this now

 

you dont have to take off the bumper, i can't remember how many scerws there were but there wasny very many. I'd go look but it's 0 out and snowy, I hate winter, anyways i did it this summer and it wasnt too hard. Hope that i helped a little.
