Grill Trouble
I got the small car grill and would like to put it in but I am having a terrible time trying to get the waterfall grill out. Any tips I tried pushing down on the clips like it says I should just doesnt come out.

First time I removed mine on my old car I had a tough time. I just had to bite the bullet and pull hard. Thought it might break but it didn't. After that it came out a lot easier. It has posts that press into thick rubber gromets. If it has never been removed it may be stuck on there pretty well.
That said, should it break on you don't blame me for telling you to tug like hell on it. Johnny

I wouldn't bother putting it on until it's painted.
I've owned a 97 grill for 2 years but it was never installed because I never found the opportunity to get it painted. When my car was involved in a hit & run I had the bodyshop paint the grill. They didn't do a perfect job on the repairs so they offered to fix it and they painted the grill for free.

2 tabs. Use a flat head screwdriver to push the clips. Then pull
Search the how-to section on cleaning headlights. it's a part of the procedure. L

you dont damage the lower tips. But Im sure its out by now. If you break the clips pulling it out you can still order new ones from the dealer for about a buck each
