Lower grill removal?

ttuner · 04-04-2015, 06:29 PM

How do you remove these things? Do they just pull off, do you need to replace the grill behind it if removed? I think the car looks better without them....

Yeah they pull off, start by removing the center piece, then use a trim tool to remove the surrounding section. The only problem is by removing them there are holes left in the grill.

See my post called
"Modified my F Grill to M Sport Gloss Black"
Lots of pictures.
Hiltonfa is correct, These grill come out very easy BUT leave holes if not reinstalled.
I have painted all the Silver grills my body color and the matt black grills into a high gloss black.
All the grills unsnap and re snap inplace.
The key is to get once section unsnapped and move arond the grill sections GENTLY unsnapping the rest
