Lay on the ground and look from the back ... it clips on just like the upper grill ..... just yank and it comes off pretty easy .... just don't mess up my grill!

When I bought my car the lower grill was actually loose and had to be popped back in.

One wider upper tab over each opening; 2 narrower lower tabs on each side below honeycomb area. (2 upper outer tabs are alignment only and have no tab catch on them). You need to press the tab catch away on each tab as you push or pull the grill out. Once you get one started it gets easier; I wouldn't yank at it; those tabs are easy to break; don't even attempt it outside if its cold.

How do you remove the lower grill?

Any tips?

Run over an empty 5-gallon plastic water bottle on the freeway and drag it for 1/4 mile. It'll pop right out!
