Have any of you guys thought about or actually removed the lower grille to show off the intercooler more? I think it could look pretty cool.

I have thought about that, and then painting the middle part of the chin black to match the upper grille. Dunno if I'll actually do it though..

 

[afneagle07]

Any ideas on how to remove it? I assume its just clipped in there because it does wiggle some when you move it around.

Yeah, just need a firm tug. Make sure you pull where the vertical fins are. You will hear a horrible snap sound, but it's ok just the clips popping loose. It just clips back in.

 

[afneagle07]

Just pull it towards me? I feel like it would push in. How does it look without it? Thanks Drifter

When you take it off there are vertical support bars that'll be body color, so unless you cut those as well it'll look goofy.

 

[afneagle07]

I'm not seeing the support bars you are talking about

 

[afneagle07]

Or are they behind the black supports?

 

[94Gt5.0]

You'll see when ya take it off. Yes they're behind the grill.

 

[Drifter]

Damn, that Silver looks SEXY!!!

 

[afneagle07]

Thank you! My buddy takes some pretty good pictures.

You ever remove the lower grille? Would love to see how it turned out.

 

[afneagle07]

I haven't yet. Still sorta weighing the options. I'm not really that comfortable cutting into a car with only 2800 miles on it. Maybe in the future. I'll post when I do.

 

[afneagle07]

It honestly doesn't look that bad without the black insert.

 

[afneagle07]

Shows more intercooler as well.

I like it!, so pretty much just pull on the vertical part towards you right? How hard was the pull?

 

[afneagle07]

Just pull directly towards yourself. I started at one end and moved down. The initial pull wasn't very hard but a couple of them were a bit tighter. The black grille is pretty bendy but I wouldn't over force it.

 

[Colin1337]

would look 100x better with those supports removed

 

[LOLFWD]

You know that is put there to protect your intercooler from rocks right?

 

[drtyFiST]

So all you do is pull straight out to get it out?

Also, does anyone know how to get the upper grille out or is it affixed to the bumper?
