T-Bag Posted February 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) Thanks man, there a 6 body clips or whatever you call them. 1st remove the shroud covering the radiator. Go behind the entire shell. Remove 2 on top of shell 1st, 2 by bumper 2nd, carefully remove ones under headlight (which could also remove to make easier) Just squeeze em and pull gently with even pressure.

T-Bag Posted February 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 (edited) Dude that looks really good!! How did you de-chrome it? Razor blade and alot of time? Thanks man, nah I sanded down the entire grille shell with a very coarse, medium then fine sand paper from Pep Boys. The key is the adhesion promoter and cleaner. 3 heavy coats of adhesion promoter, 1 every 3 mins. then paint within less than 10 mins of drying. I just followed directions on can lol, came out ok, couple of ugly spots if you look closeup. I just couldn't justify paying someone $200 to do it.
