Has anyone removed the front bowtie on the grille? Is it glued in place or secured by clips?

1st. Open the glove box, in the back there is a nut, turn the nut untill all the tention is off the bolt.
Next pop the hood and look for the little red anchor rod( pass. side below the a/c). unbolt all the retaining bolts and remove the rod.
Go back to the glove box, A phillips head screw will now be visible. unscrew it and you will feel the slack pull back.
Finally get your kahooter ring puller and put it on the embelem, turn 3 turns and it comes right off!

It doesn't matter really. If you remove it, you will have a large impression of the bowtie since it is inset into the grill.

I took a picture from behind the grille. It looks like it's clipped in.

Is that what it looks like to you guys?

I'm trying to remove it so I can have it painted.

Oh okay. You should be fine then. Pry it off with a plastic body filler spreader.

I think the rear bowtie is just stuck on w 3m tape heat it up and you can take off but youll need new tape to get it back on good luck

Does anyone make a filler piece for this?

SLP makes a filler pirce called the landing pad. You can install SS or RS emblems on it. I believe Revolution Motorsports has just a filler piece that fills in the bowtie indentation but completes the lines of the stock grill.
