Two screws out, obviously. How do I get the clips along the bottom to pop out? They don't seem to easily go straight out and when I push down/pull up and try to slide out it doesn't seem to budge that way either. Wanting to get it out like right now, respond quickly if you can please. Thanks

Looks to be a bunch of those clips, I guess they pull upwards. Saw one on the side, looks like theres a bigger clip up at the top corners that holds it to the bumper? meh >.<

Crap i cant remember how i did it but those 2 screws come out easy and then i think you have to push up beneath the clip-like-things on the bottom. I have the grill right in front of me and there are about 6 of them. If this helps ill post some pictures up of what im talking about in a moment.

Those two top parts are going in to a little box on the bumper and I don't think fingers can even fit in there lol. I'll try, hope I get it. Will update thread in just a bit. Thanks for the info, now I know its just the 8 clips and no extras!

Okay so the top two clips I figured out, flat head screw driver and pop it upwards. I might make a tut on the whole process later. Anyway, those bottom ones aren't budging. It's all in figuring out how they work, cause the top ones once I figured it out came out easy. The bottom just pulls up? They don't seem to move up or down. Hrmmmm

Oh and that f***in piece that snaps in the two holes for screws, one of em I dropped >_< lol

Gotta get those damn tabs out! Do you remember anything about how they came out?

Success! I had to be somewhat forceful with it though.. Couldn't feel the screw thing down under the engine anywhere I could reach. Not sure where it went, is it easily replaceable? Off to the store then up to the shop to get to work!

I think it's the same. Once I saw the pictures I remembered you didn't have a spec. I think it's the same setup though, pain in the a**. Painting now! Almost done with primer!
