05 Grill Removal
Can anyone help me with removing the front grill on my 05 V6? There are 9 snap tabs (or something) on the grill that I can't seem to "pop" out. It looks easy enough, but I'm afraid I'm going to break the tab locks. Any help will be much appreciated.

RE: 05 Grill Removal
Thanks for the info from all of you who replied. I guess I'll "man up" and try to pry the tabs out with a flathead. I just hate trying to force it, but guess I'll do what I gotta do. I'll be installing the OEM Pony Package Grill form the Ford dealer. Thanks again, I'll let y'all know how it works out for me.

RE: 05 Grill Removal
You're gonna like the "pony grille" set-up. I've installed it in my 05 and have received a number of compliments from people on the street. A couple of guys said it reminded them of the 67-68 grille. Good luck on the project!

RE: 05 Grill Removal
Thanks "Afixer"! I think the link you gave me will be extremly helpful. It didn't give much detail about the grill removal (which I think I'm straight on now anyway), but the wiring info is great. I'm new to the threads, just bought my stang not even two weeks ago, but I'm very glad to have found all of you hanging out here. Thanks again for the help! C-YA!
