just wanted to know if anyone knows how to remove the factory upper grill and lower grill on a 00 Civic EX. Please include step by step directions...

 

you have to take off the bumper and you'll see the screws and just loosen them

 

for the lower grille......a saw

 

u have to take off the whole damn bumper? wtf? who makes it that hard, come on!

 

For the bottom grille, you dont have to take off the bumper, but its easier then being on your knees while cutting out the grille/s . The Top one, you just need to take out the clips that keep it placed into your bumper, and then you wills ee the screws. Not hard at all. Replace the top with mesh
peace

You obviously haven't taken off the bumper yet. On my 97 it only has 2 bolts, 2 screws and about 6 pop nuts on top then it slides right off. Easy! Takes about 15 minutes and that's if you don't know what your doing.

15 minutes? WTF...



Were you drunk or something?

 

I'm down to the 2 screws and the pop things on the top. I don't even bother with the nuts anymore. It takes near no time at all. Just unscrew the two screws out of the bumper that hold the grille on and there ya go.

Good point, it was probably way less. I was over-exaggerating
