Thread: Removing grille shell on a finished car

Tweet

Well guys, my plan was to start this weekend but the flu had a different idea. My wife has been down for over a week & I started feeling odd Sat morning.
The grille I want is over a grand & right now- I'm pinching pennies for 2 weeks in Kauai at end of Jan 08. Everyone I talked to w/ a 32 said the shell is a snap to remove so that's why I planned to install this one for now. I have a full plate until after Kauai & this one is a new one I'm borowing from a buddy. It's polished stainless & pretty nice. He won't need it for at least a year. I'm registered for a bunch of shows- including next Sat at NHRA Museum, John Force Racestation in Dec & GNRS at Pomona just before I go to Hawaii. I wanted to swap the grille out for some of these events. If I like it ok- I have the option of buying it from him.
I have plenty of blue tape- a paint guy recommended sticking the tape on your jeans 1st so it's easier to remove.
