Jeffrey Heitger Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Can anyone tell me how to remove the lower grille in my 07 GT 500 so I can put the super snake one in with the brake bezels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 To do this properly you will have to remove the entire front bumper. This is really the only way to easily access and release the plastic tabs that hold the grill into the bumper. This is the only way I have found to successfully do this without damaging any of the paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
09 Red GT500 Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Yes, you should remove the front bumper cover. It is simple enough to do. Here are the instructions from the C&R Heat exchanger install for just the front bumper cover removal: Front Bumper Cover Removal 3. Remove the two front wheels and set aside. 4. Remove the 7 screws from the lower splash guard using a 5.5mm socket and remove the splash guard. 5. Remove the 10 bolts from the lower lip air dam using a 10mm socket. Remove the air dam. 6. Remove the 10 screws and clips from the fender well splash guards. Pull the splash guards back from the front bumper and remove completely. 7. Remove the two nuts that retain the front bumper to the front fender on each side. These nuts are located at the very back corners of the bumper and are accessible from inside the fender wells. 8. Unclip the three electrical connectors on each side that attach to the fog lights, turn signals, and parking lamps. 9. Remove two bolts retaining the top of the bumper to the core support. 10. Lift the top “ears” of the bumper up and over the tabs. Then, slide the whole bumper cover forward and off of the vehicle. Reverse the steps for re-installation...

This all sounds easy till you get to step #10. I used about 5 flat screwdrivers to stick into the tab inserts so the tab's wouldn't keep snapping back into the inserts. You're going to need a large floor space and both hands and feet to complete this task. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
