Default New Grill for my v6 Pony Package

Hey Guys,
One of my fog lights broke on my v6 pony package grill. I bought a new base v6 grill and a billet layover grill. My question is how do I remove the factory grill and install the newone? I want to keep the wireing so maybe in the future i might want to switch back to fogs. How do i go about removing the factory grill to put on my new grill?

I believe there are 9 plastic clips that hold the grill in, it is rather easy to remove. You should just need a flathead screwdriver to get them out. Just remove the plastic shield on top of the grill/radiator and you will see them.

Thanks for the reply. i have done this but having trouble getting to the bottom ones. Do I need to take off my whole front bumper like some websites say i have to?

NO. I switched my grille without taking the bumper off. It takes more time than you want it to but you can do it with just a screw driver.

Just an opinion here, but I think it may be time to buy a GT/CS front bumper, a GT grill, and GT foglights. You already have all the switches and wires, ya know

I like the Saleen and GT/CS bumpers but I spent $120 on my grille.... didn't have enough for a new bumper and the factory lights. I have spent a total of under $1000 on my car and I don't really want to break over that any time soon :X

I knew that was coming and I decided to leave it worded the way it was. I wish mien were a GT but I can't complain for what I got with the price I paid.

Just teasing you. The best I have done so far is $700 for a 99 V6 convertible with a blown motor. Bought a running replacement motor with half the miles for $200 and I now have a sweet V6 convertible for about $1200 after making everything look and feel new again.
