Are the top and bottom chrome horizontal bars that stick out part of the grill assembly, or are they removable from the front bumper as separate pieces? Anyone has pics of the grill removed from the front bumper?

 

looks like it's one piece according to the manual.

 

I have taken mine off and it is one piece.

It's "pawl" with the triangle shape he is asking, it would be funny if it says "pawn" in the G37 manual. LOL.

 

Thanks for the info, if the grill is one piece, guess the front bumper will have the funny shapes where the 2 bars that stick out, interesting design for the G37. Has anyone removed the vertical bar in the middle?

 

yes thank you. !

Someone else posted this and it went fine for me.

1. Fully open hood assembly.
2. Remove reservoir tank. Refer to CO-15, "Removal and Installation".
3. Remove radiator core support ornament. Refer to DLK-214, "Removal and Installation".
4. Remove front grille mounting nuts (A).
5. Disengage pawls (A) of fixing front grille.
6. Pull front grille out toward vehicle front.
7. Remove the following parts after removing front grille.

INSTALLATION
Install in the reverse order of removal.

 

After the grill has been removed, does anyone know if the vertical metal bar in the middle of the front bumper is removable? How is it attached to the front bumper, screws, bolts or molded?

It's from the Service Manual. There's a thread in the FAQ & DIY forum.
