Cna you post some pictures DYI in grille removal?
I tried to remove the grille. I opened the hood, located the center round notch. I am stuck here. I tired to pull out the notch(after turn 12 and 6o' clock), I couldn't get it out. I broke off little bit of the plastic. I heard someone said we don't have to pull out the notch, and I am interested to know how.
Even after I remove the circle notch, I don't see how I could remove the 4 notch at each corners. Where to stick the flat driver and which way do I pull/push?
I think pictured DYI could help out alot. Can any great person make this in Picture DYI? I want to but I don't know how to remove the grille. I have starless grille sitting on ground, and want to see how it looks.

I had the same issue, after about 30 minutes and some very sore fingers, I took some pliers and broke it off. I hear you don't need to completely remove it, but if you break it, a new one is only $3 at the dealer. There is a PDF grille removal on the forum that shows where the notches are and is pretty helpful.

This should take you to the thread with the PDF. Good luck, post pics when you're done!

Ok that helped. I did it. my thing was dirty, but it worked. But one thing. the grille I purchased is great fit and great looks, but they have weak I mean REALLY Weak vertical support plastic. They are really thin. I broke one off(didn't break completely, tho). Anyway, I will figure something out to glue it or make support more thicker. I will try to overlay it with CF also. Thank you guys. counldn't have done it with out you.
