I was attempting to take off my grille earlier today and i got the 5 screws taken out

then i realized that there are two(2) clip type things that still hold it on.
I tried to "un-clip" them but it didnt work

there is one at each end of the grille, does anyone know what im talking about and how to get them off with out breaking them?

 

not sure what the 4th and 5th gen difference is, but i have to take a philips screw driver and shove it down to unpop the clips. should be a hole... but i dont know.

 

unless you were able to show me a picture of the "hole' you talk about, there isnt one for me to do that

 

yeah, you just release the clips with a flat head screwdriver; it's very simple. but off hand I can't tell you exactly how to do it.

 

just get a good grip on the grill and yank it out

 

i tried pressing really hard with my fingers, becuase at the time a flat-head wasnt available, i'll try that tomorrow though

and no im not gonna yank that thing out of there, i want to be able to put it back

 

poke into there

 

thanks, i didnt need the picute but thank you anyway

i got it off this morning using the flat head screwdriver

anyone know if i can take out the center piece to make it open or if i have to buy a new one?

that looks pretty good I was thinking about doing this before. Figured I'd pick one up on ebay.

haha, with that tan color I would have left the chrome outside. But that looks good err wait, that's a 94-95, no chrome... I'd put the chrome grill in then drill it out.

I have the same 4x4 effect =P



but in kalamazoo, the last thing I want to do is lower it new struts coming soon though, hopefully.

but your car doesnt have a 2" drop... ....id like to put some real money itno this car, but even though it has a spot in the garage for many years to come, i think ill end up selling it for something very cheap once i get out of living in a dorm.....poor thing

i really wanna paint it, but noone stocks Cashmere Silver in paint, just as the touch up pens.......ive thought about just cutting the old stock one to a MUGEN style, and then selling/giving this one away, cause i think those do look alot better.....i road grillless for a few weeks, and that actually looks decent if it wasnt for the radiator support/hood latch

 

im a 4x4 just like you guys... i hate it sooo much i dont know why they made it so rediculously high... sorry the grill looks so nasty in the pics it has so much dust/dirt.. i used sum glossy paint for it so when its clean it looks nice... i rode for a day w/o a grill it really does look nice except that stupid hod latch and radiator...


oh do you guys think there would be any way oi could fix those scratches on my bumper? when i bought it , it had those and i dunno what i cando about it...
