Removing the S14 grill--pardon my ignorance

[MarkEmark]

I feel stupid for asking such a simple question, but how the heck do you get the S14 grill off? Theres 4 screws that you can unscrew, but after that, the grill is just as secure as it was before. I see from pictures that the grill has 3 mounting tabs on them....how do I get access to these three mounting tabs? Do I have to remove the bumper or anything like that? ThanksmARC

There are three tabs under the grill and bumper. It's not easy, but you need to position a pry bar under them. Then just pop them straight up through the bumper. It's kind of a pain in the a$$.

So you have to go from underneath the bumper and push it up? Which means I'll have to remove a lotta stuff, no?Ahh, such a PIA...why couldn't they just make the tabs release with a 1/4 turn like most other cars do?!?

Nope... just go in from the top... use your finger and feel around between the bumper cover (plastic) and the bumper frame (metal). You'll feel three little nubs of the platic fasteners.... just position a small pry bar under them (one at a time obviously) and pop them up.
