Default Re: How to replace grilles?

The OEM lower grills pivot from the center of the car. Look at the outward end and you will see a hole in which you can insert a flat blade screw driver; with the screw drive press the tab of the grill outward and that end of the grill unsnaps from the car. There are two "L" shaped ends on the inboard end of the grill; the grill will pivot out and the two "L' shaped tabs will easily release. The grill on the drivers side also has the outside air temperature sensor attached. Be careful to release that so you do not damage it while removing the grill.
