Hey guys, I just got my SP grille in for the 05 G coupe. It's painted and ready to go... BUT I can't get the stock grille off. I removed the 6 "black plastic screwies thingies" but the top of the grille is still stuck on the corners. I can't figure out how to remove it. As for the bottom of the grille, there are these clips holding it in, but they too won't budge. Can anyone help me plz??????? Thanks!!
(I did do a search for a DIY but there were no results)

 

pm devon, he can probably help ya

 

seems like it's snapped into something. Most of these grilles snapon and have clips. When I changed my grille on my civic I had to pull the bumper forward and then I was able to unsnap the grille off the bumper. That may be your culprit.

 

If you look in the top you will see 2-4 clips that clip to the frame. Push down on the clip then pull to the front of the car.
If you can't figure it out, come to Happy Hour tommorrow and I'll do it for you.

Ty......

 

If you look straight from the front on each corner there are two square **** that have a slit in them that a small screwdriver can fit in, you have to turn them a quarter turn until the square can be pushed through the holes,
kind of har dto explain but if you kneel down in front of the grill and look straight through on either end.

I hope this helps a little

 

Thanks guys, I was able to finally get it off. The little square things on the top corners were sort of a pain, but its finally off. Ill post pics after a wash soon! thanks for the help!!
