WANTED: How to Remove Grille
 

A lot of people are buying aftermarket grilles. Some are hesitating because they don't like the look of the grille with another grille in the background.

This is a very good point. The only extra grille you should have are the one in your backyard.

We need an instructional guide to removing the OEM grille. Get posting. :popcorn:

You will have to you will have to completely remove the front fascia to get at the grill. Removing the grill is easy once ya get the fascia off. This is a copy/paste from elsewhere I stuck in my notes for when the heritage grill eventually makes it's way to me :paddle:
