Bottom Grille

VforVIBE · Post by **VforVIBE** » Wed Aug 02, 2006 9:48 am

How do you remove the bottom grille, the ones next to the head light, I got the to clips undone but could get the top part off. I'm going to paint my grille black, and spray the chrome with red paint meant for chrome. And I have an overlay in the mail for the Pontiac symbol(reflective black & red).

I think they are those pins at the top and tabs on the bottom. could be wrong though. I've only had my grill pieces off at the bottom by the fog lamp. Those are just clips... I found that out when I hit a rabbit and only one clip was holding it on lol.

Most def, I hope I don't hit any love bugs alone the way, I won't have a week for the paint to become fully chip resident. But I think it will be fine.

Volkswagen Gti style, eh. My mind is telling me that what you are doing should look good, so prove me right.

I hope it looks good too. I should have pics up Wed maybe Tue. But, my decals for the arrow won't be in for a while, it's a long way from Canada.

The two top grills next to the headlights come off by unscrewing the 2 top screws for each and by pressing on the 3 bottom tabs.

Now all I have to do is get the headlights painted black.

that side view looks bad a$$... you should just buy some 03-04 lights form a junk yard and youll have the black headlights... well sort of.

PHXLava...did you paint your stock headlights housings or swap some 04 and earlier housings? I like that look.That garnet metallic grille trim looks sweet too.
