<FONT size=2>I went out and bought the mach 1 Grillfor my 03 GT but when I went to removing the stock one aint the same story. There are 4 screws at the bottom end holding the grill, based on what I see the only way of unscrewing them is to remove the bumper but it dont seem logical. Can someone give me some info if thisis correct.</FONT></P>

no u dont have to remove the whole bumper its just gonna take "alot" of paitence i bought a billet grille for my and it took me forever to get those damn screws out but there out! anyway i think its a 7mm screw so just work it with a combination wrench thats what i did unless someone has a better idea...

Yes, I agree to all this but HOW do you get behind the grill and actually unscrew the screws.</P>

okay unsrew the top ones first then the grille should be flexible pull it slightly forward and try to stick your hand with the wrench under the top of the bottom then feel around till your on the screw then unsrew...its gonna take a while o yeah you will cut your hand if you get inpatient

I agree, I put a grillcraft on my car, and it was a PITA. You do have to flex the bumper and try to screw upside down. Why Ford thought it was that necessary to put that many screws on a grill is beyound me. If they did that to the rest of the car maybe we wouldn't have so many rattles. Anyway, the screws can be a pain too, because I found that some of the plastic pegs with the screws in the center were stripped, so I had to rip them out with pliers. It all came together though.
