Such a thing cannot be done.... this is higly dangerous and should only be performed by NASA engineers.... whatever you do... make sure you DO NOT.... DO NOT... simply pull the grill up and towards you... http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

but for real... remove the clips and yank the son-bitch up and towrads you... dont worry wont break.

Thats crazy i just took mine off today and I found the two inside clips to be the most difficult the outside ones were the easiest! Yeah I put a new grill on today and it looks sick. Can't go wrong for $16!!!

hmm.... $16 might be for the grill mesh, not a grill like mintblue or autoexe.

I actually took the front bumper right off to get at that grill.
There are actually about 9 pins holding it in place. Of which, only 4 are visible. The others just squeeze from the bottom (when the bumper is off) and come out. I know that there have been a couple people that have broken theirs (snapped a fixed pin off) when just yanking on it, but other people have had no problems.

I'm taking my aluminum grill off sometime and trimming it around the edges for a more professional look. It won't be easy, but I think it will be worth it.
Wish me luck
