I'm installing new Fiamm Freeway Blaster Horns on my Fiancee's 96' 2.5 TL.
There are two stock horns. One on the side near the driver side wheel. The other is in between the front grill and radiator. I already got the one next to the wheel removed. Now trying to get the other horn out.

My question is, how do you remove the front grill?
I took out three phillips screws, two on top, one on the bottom/center, but seemed like the grill is still being held in by something, clips perhaps? I'm not sure but I'm afraid to pull too hard and possibly break something. Can someone help?

Thanks.

use a flat head screw driver. turn the screw driver so that each end of the screw driver is pointing north and south. in that postion, place that inside the clip which is visible if you look down on it from the top. press down in the center of the clip and pull out the grill each side at a time.

Thanks TLBaller. Actually I drive an 02 CL type S. But My fiancee drives a 96 2.5 liter TL. I'm doing this for her car.

Got the Fiamm Freeway Blaster installed !!! Thanks TLBaller

Had to take the bumper and grill off. Took this opportunity to take out the Intake Resonator as well to get Mo Power to the TL .

Now I'm ready to go blast everyone in the freeway who gets in my way !!!

Just wanted to add that I have two Fiamm Freeway Blaster Horn (High tone) purchased from car quest $20 each. part # CPF 40140. I tried having one high tone and one low tone, and the low tone sounds like crap, so I returned it and got another High tone. Sounds sweet now, and loud !

Damn man looks nice.

How are the horns? I hate the stock ones.

I once read that Ferrari used Fiamm horns in their cars. My CL type S comes stock with two air horns, although I'm not sure if they are made by Fiamm. These Freeway Blaster don't sound like the horns on my CL, the Freeway Blasters have a higher tone. But they sound way better than the stock ones by far. My suggestion is to get the High tones, not the low tone horns. And from a reputable place like Car Quest, Pep Boys...where if you don't like the sound, you can take it back for a refund/exchange.
