Default removing stock grille

ok I've removed the 2 10mm bolts and the radiator cover how exactly do I remove the V6 stock grille , I've tried being gentle and even with the tinyest force I feel I'm almost going to break the things each snap piece snaps onto .


Any special removal instructions ? this is the V6 grille not GT/ Shelby

Take the two 10mm bolts out of the top after taking the core support cover off, (push-in clips) take a small hook tool to release the tabs (while pulling outward on the grill) start at the top work to the bottom the grill will come out.

I didn't have access to a lift when I put my BULLITT grille on, so I just used a little "force" on removing. I probably wouldn't recommend this method, but it did (however) work flawlessly for me. Nothing broke, and the BULLITT went on in seconds.

ok first of all i had to remove mine to put in my cdc grille and i wanted to kill myself after. its a BIOCH! holy crap. all i can say is use a screw driver to get the push pins out. if you want to, wrap the tip in one to two layers of tape so you dont scratch the paint. my paint on my SSE fascia was crappy so i didnt care and it was already peeled off lol.

Access the bottom clips from under the vehicle.
Use a small screwdriver to help release them.
Avoid bending any fins on the AC condensor in the process.
