It is a pain took me like 15 minutes to get them off cuz the heads of the bolts are so thin. Just use a 7mm wrnch stick ur lil hands in there and turn it clock wise!!! lol I was turning it counter clock wise at first but then i remembered that the vehicle is facing the other way lmfoa!! I'd try that or have ur bf do it... lol j/p

 

im 5' 11" and 135 lbs and pretty skinny, i got my hands in there no problem b/c i had my mom hold the bumper out while i reached in there to take out the bolts. i cut up the top of my hand pretty bad though- it looks much better w/ the mach 1 delete imo.

 

DAMN YOU ARE SKINNY lol, yeah just have someone with little hands reach in there. Im 5'11 175 lbs and I didnt cut up my hand just a few scratches. Just take your time, you have to be patient do it on a sunday

 

yea i have a fast metabolism... i eat 4 meals a day and cant gain wait[:@]. o well, my dad says he was the same way.
*make sure you clean the bumper with alcohol to remove any dirt before laying down the piece with the adhesive strip. then apply pressure and it will be fine*

 

i did it in about 45 minutes on my '99 about a year ago when i bought it. i couldn't stand the honeycomb grill. good luck with it.

 

hmmmm...i bought mine from mustangs unlimited and it was only a 2 piece?? and no adhesive...just screwed in. wish i had the third (top) piece.

 

Yeah, the bolts are tiny. Not to mention mine are kinda rusty and old, so it doesn't help. I can't get my hand down in there, I got so frustrated. My boyfriend did get one off, like I said. But I'm hoping there's some easier way to get to them. Following the instructions makes it kinda difficult.

Maybe I'll try the headlight thing. [&:]

 

I completely cut the original grille out with a dremel. It's a PITA but doable.
I didn't attach it from underneath. Mine sits perfectly and stays put with the two bolts at the top of either side.

 

Hmmm, well I guess if comes down to that, I might have to. But I'm hoping it comes off without too much hassle.

 

Mine wasn't too bad, just carefully bend up the bumper and take out the screws. The bumper will actually bend up pretty far to give you some room to work. If you are careful with it you wont have any problems damaging it. Took me maybe 30 mins to get the old grill off (but my car was a month old at the time).
I got mine from Mustangtuning aswell and it didn't come with new hardware, just the double sided tape. Seems to be enough to hold it down though, I've had it like that for over a month with no issues.
You can't reuse the screws in the new grill (they will fit but wont do anything). Take a look at it and you will understand why they wont work.
