Default I've seen How-To's but I can't Just Can't Do it. [Grille]

I bought a stock OEM bottom grille MONTHS ago to refit it to replace the top grille. But I can't get the damn top grille off!

I've seen badseed's little thing how to unclip it.. and I have unclipped them and taken screws out. The TOP of the grille is loose and can be pushed in. But the BOTTOM won't budge. I've ever resorted to punching it. And it still won't come out.

I've searched and found how to take it off, but this Bítch and goin' nowhere!?

Just make sure all the screws are out of it all the way around and it should come right out.

yea once the screws are out you basically have to punch it out just be careful it will sound like it broke but just hit it on the right spots like the ends of the grill and you should be ok

After you punch it out of the fitting, tilt it a little and pull it out from the front.

there's no need to punch anything, also u don't need the to take the screws out because all they do is hold the grill to the silver/chrome frame.
There's like 4 clips up top, 2 on the sides I believe and like 4-5 on the bottom. Just take a flathead screwdriver and do it clip by clip. Every time you get one loose try to keep pushing on it and continue to do it all around. It will come out, trust me, was doing the same thing replacing the top grill with the bottom.

Once it's all out just do what "Jehoo" said above, tilt it and it will come right out. You don't need to take the bumper off.
