Removal Instructions

Step 1: Upper Grille Removal

• With the front bumper removed from the car, lay it face down on a padded surface or a thick blanket.
• Dislodge the harness clip with a plastic pry tool.
• Use the pry tool to gently depress the locking tabs securing the impact absorber.
• Once all the tabs are released remove the impact absorber.
• Disconnect the electrical connections for both grille lights.
• Dislodge the clips securing the harness to the upper grille.
• Loosen and remove the (4) 7mm bolts securing the grille lights and then remove the lights.
• Depress the tabs on the locking clips and slide the clips towards the center of the grille to remove them.
• Use a pry tool and dislodge the tabs holding the upper grille to the bumper. Start on either the driver or passenger side and work towards the opposite side alternating from top to bottom.
• Once all of the tabs are disengaged you can remove the upper grille from the bumper.

Step 2: Lower Grille Removal

• With the impact absorber still removed, remove the harness clips from the slots in the lower grille.
• Loosen and remove the (4) 7mm screws securing the bottom of the lower grille.
• Use the pry tool and dislodge the tabs holding the lower grille to the bumper. Start on either the driver or passenger side and work towards the opposite side alternating from top to bottom.
• Once all of the tabs are disengaged you can remove the lower grille from the bumper.

Step 3: Corner Grilles Removal

• Remove the (4) 7mm screws securing the OEM grille cover to the bumper.
• If you have a GT with performance pack or a Darkhorse car, there will be a cooling duct affixed with these screws as well on the driver's side.
• Depress the tabs on the locking clip and slide the clip out of place to remove it.
• Use a pry tool and dislodge the tabs holding the corner grille to the bumper.
• Remove the grille from the bumper. After this you are good to go.
