----------------- For the bottom tabs, there is no other way than using your fingers wedged underneath. That's why we've all said to heed to "drive around first to warm up the plastic" tip. It's still a beotch to pop those tabs even with the warm plastic. I have a nice bruise on my hand to prove it. As for the side tabs, the outboard ones can be reached with a screwdriver, especially as you can pull the top of the grille fwd a bit and expose/see the tab from the top. For the inboard ones, I discovered that they are easily reachable/seen if you remove the plastic air intake shroud (only two screws). Overall, it's more difficult than it really should be, but once you do it, it all makes sense. Good luck. If you still get stuck, PM me. Depending on where you are in town, we could meet up and I can help you. Edit: was just thinking about this more and how bad my bruised hand looks ATM (doesn't hurt at all, just looks like it does)... Why we all say to use your fingers is that you need to push up on the tabs and since there is little room as it is, a screwdriver does fit, but there is no leverage/pry room. However, I'll now bet that a simple L-bracket from Home Depot will easily pop the tabs. The short leg of the 'L' slips under the grille an rests on the tab. Once you push back on the long side of the bracket, it should pry/push the tab upward and release it. That's my theory anyhoo. You may already have something that would work already in your garage... ----------------- |

I put mine in last weekend as well. Will post pictures once I get the car washed. It's been raining lately. The installation was a pain even with the tips from Doanster...maybe I just have giant fingers. I too now have a giant bruise on my arm haha.

Here is mine. I believe I am the first x-line with these grilles. It actually pulled them off quite well (or maybe I am just trying to convince myself that it's worth the trouble...). Big thanks to r33_RGSport for hooking me up with a set!

What do you all mean use your fingers to get underneath?
Edit: ok I get it. But not sure how to tell if I have the tab out or not. Last edited by Chem14; 05-19-2015 at 07:02 PM.. |
