How the F#@k do we remove the grille with breaking thoose cheap ass screws they use to hold it on? I did this on my 00 TL-p and broke every single one in doing it. Thanks for any help.

 

Do you mean the grill from the car, or the griil surround from the grill itself?

The grill is held to the car with these little nuts you unbolt, Then you press in these 2 little tabs with a flat head screwdriver at the top to release it.

The grill surround is held in place by several small phillips screws. Just unscrew them.

 

I was talking about the ones that remove it from the car itself. When I try too unbolt the lil nuts they break.

 

oh, never had that happen. I had my grill off several times. That sucks!

 

Well ill give it a try and see, I just ordered the 03 grille frame so I can have it painted too match the car. I had that happend on my 00 TL-p and the setup looked the same so I was assuming that I would run into the same issue. Ill give it a try this weekend and see what happends. Thanks again.

 

The little screws that hold the chrome grille surround to the grille are the ones that you have to watch out for.. the plastic part that holds the screw come off the grille surround way too easily..my grille now sticks out in places till I buy a new one
