HELP! removing chrome grill

ive been trying all day to remove the chrome grill. i have read the "how to" thread on a regular grill and i realized that it is not done the same way.

the chrome grill is attached to the plastic grill. and the plastic grill is held on by clips on the bumper. i cant get the chrome grill off because it is held on by some really tight clips that hold on to the plastic grill thing


does anyone know how to remove it?

This has no relevance to your post, but I really do like the chrome look on your car.

so what you will now but i am sure once you do the grill you will feel compelled to finish the job. and to get em off you're gonna have to remove the door panels.

If for some reason you are ditching the chrome grill all together, I'd be interested in purchasing it off of you for a project.

to remove the chrome grill you have to release the whole middle section by pulling out the 4 or 5 pins, and pulling the whole thing out, then you have to use a dremel.
