can anyone tell me how to get the grill off of a gen one? ive gotten the 3 bolts out. what now?

thanks much

you gotta put some force on the bottom parts of the grill if i remember right. push it from the engine bay out. its pretty tough the first time you do it, but be carefull.

just work it!

thanks. i noticed it was a bit tough to get out, just didnt want to rip the bumper off so i thought id ask. thanks again.

right ...3 bolts on top and two clips on bottom..

after bolts are out you need to pry up one clip and push on that side till it pushes out.

repeat for the other side..remove grille

the clips can be tricky sometimes..if it is pushed up right it will more or less slip out w/ just a little push

I've been looking for a grill for my 2000 SE and have only found the OEM version of the grill.

Has anyone come across a vendor with a other-than-stock-look grill?

^^ But, is that renova deal ever gonna come through?

I'd like to see pics of the final product when it does come through.
I just got in the replacement for my grill today. The grill that is on the car now looks like it went through hell and back without the rest of the car (thankfully!)

the renova grill is for sure is happening, but it just they had many projects going on and also sample fitment issues cause the delay. (this is the 3rd sample coming from oversea)

i am curious about mesh fitment..see my question in thier thread
