front grilles

**JCG's-GTP** · 02-03-2009

Want to change out grey grilles for black ones but just wondering how they come out. Any help?

Excuse my ignorance, but are the grills the two little criss cross thingies in the front of the hood? if they are, mine have literally fallen out TWICE. I have NO idea why they do that but the first time I lightly tapped the back end of a car in front of me; they fell off so I stopped traffic and got out and got them babies. I was sure they were a hundred dollar part. LOL come to find out, they're only like 60. anyway, if that's what the grills are, then they are supposed to be held in by two bolts and u get to them, mine at least, the same way you get to the fog lamps, get on ur back and crawl under the front end; you should see them

What year is your GP? The stock 97-03 grills are held in by screws. Just unscrew them and put in your replacements.

The 04+ GP's though have tabs that hold them in. When I changed the grills on my 04 I used a flat screwdriver and a towel to protect the paint. The SPO/stock grilles have the same tabs so they go in the same way. Not too sure about the aftermarket eBay ones tho.

Would you be willing to sell the grills you've got it on it now?

**JCG's-GTP** · 02-09-2009

Once I get the black ones sure

**Dboy23** · 02-10-2009

The ones in the pic in your sig are DEFINETLY not just crappy stock grilles, they are the SPO grills that are sought after by many

After i read about this I thought to myself..... I havent seen another GP with the same grille around here. So i did a search and saw these grilles. lmao i guess the guy who owned this before me put them on. And to think I was gonna replace them with stock black ones and probably throw these in the closet. Maybe I'll just paint these. Thanks for the info guys.

No problemo I thought you knew, I figured you found black SPO's, IMO though I'd keep them chrome or paint the color of the car.
