If you look under your front bumper you will see a cover held on with I think seven screws.Take that off and then there are some plastic tabs you have to use a screw driver to pry up to release the tabs.

Yeah I see the tabs but they seem to be a beeeotch to take off.
Was looking for some tips on how to get past the tabs.

the lower grille is kind of hard to take off, but the tabs are what's holding it in place. try pulling on the lower part of the grille first to get those tabs out, then the upper (that's how i got mine off anyway). some 'elbow grease' is really all you need to take it off

I bought a front and rear GT for my V6, but I don't need the front.
I was thinking about painting it anyways since I have to paint the rear.
It has a few scratches otherwise ok.
