I have a 99 CL. I got a 97 CL grill I want to put on my 99 CL.
Will I be able to put this grill on my 99 with out any problems?
Do I need clips to put the chrome section on? HELP

 

I've not done this (put a '97 grill on a '99 CL). But when I replaced my '97 grill with a '97 gold kit (plus a new plastic grill), the installation went smooth! I just used all of the screws and nuts from the original grill to install the replacement grill.

Did you buy the black plastic grill in addition to the chrome pieces (logo/wings and trim ring)? I ask this because the '97 chrome pieces won't fit on the '99 black plastic grill.

Let me know if I can help.

 

It should fit in fine. Just remove the four screw things to remove the whole grill and put the new ones in.

 

yea the 98 grill is one piece, chrome and black together... its probably the same for 97 & 99.... 4 screws and i think to snap on clips.... in and out!

 

i've done it more times than i care to remember... the grilles are a perfect swap between eachother. all the bolts line up.

 

what screws in the chrome ?

 

how the hell do you take off the 2 plastic clips on the inside off the grill

 

the chrome is molded with the black center... use a flat screw driver to pinch the clip... squeezes right out!

 

ok got the 99 grill off now. what hardware do i need for the 97 grill?

 

NONE.. snap it back in and screw it with the same screws!

 

how do i get those black plastic clips off the 99 grill. I do need them for the 97 correct?

 

ok hold on... do you have the 97 grille??? it should be the same... the black clips on my grille were molded off the grille (one piece with the grille) I am assuming that both of your grilles follow the same format... If you have the 99 grille out.. slap the 97 grille in... it should have the clips molded in it... snap it in and screw it on!!!

 

it does not have those clips in them

 

Hey do you want to sell your '99 grill?

 

I broke a clip on my 99 grill

 

Does that mean it wont stay in at all or what?

 

Only one of the clips is broken. I dont know if it will stay on or what

 

bro you'll be fine with it... it also stays in with 4 screws!!
