Grille Light Modification.

[Freeman]

I never minded the Lancer's but they are in an entirely different class than the SVX. The SVX stands out more than a Lancer by far because of the unique styling. I'd drive a Lancer if someone gave me one and I'd probably love it... Just not more than my SVX..



Now a 3000GT... That'd be fun.

Thanks for the comment SVX1999

Yes, they are quite douchy. I mean, the come "Pre-riced out" straight from the factory without any real performance mods in them (just looks) but the owners still seem to think they are driving a million dollar super-car.

If you like them, go for it :P ....as for me

Did you ever get around to posting the How-Tos? I was looking for the one that shows how to remove the center grille?

Thanks

IIRC, there are 4 clips on the back of the grille that you have to loosen. You push in the tabs on the clips, and the grille will slowly come out. I don't believe the DIY included how to remove the grille.

There are TWO clips (one on each side)



Just keep a little outward pressure on the grille, while sticking a small screwdriver down into the top clasps.

once the two top clasps are loose, tilt the top out while pulling up (as the bottoms just slide down into a grommet) and it should pop right out. Installation is just the reverse.

Done this many times.

Yes, I meant to say two clips, not four

[icingdeath88]

The 97s have 4.

[fun173]

I had both grilles, never did care for the 97 grille. I believe I still have the modified waterfall from the first post in my garage somewhere. I should really put it in my room.

Any "How To's" on opening a waterfall grille? Haven't decided on a light, or as someone mentioned in another thread, putting an external EZ-Pass transponder inside one. Got it out of the car, but curious if there's an easy way to open it up without damaging it

Instructions are pretty damn vague where to put the screwdriver. Looked to me like they're pinch clips.(?) squeeze them and pull the grill forward. I literally blew a bulb and need to remove the headlamp to get the glass out.
