How the heck do you remove the 2 center screws/pins from the upper grill?

I'll try pliers to pinch the pins from the rear for the outer ones. Any more suggestions?
 
just pull up gently... that worked for me. Here is the how to from the manual...

That does not show the 4 extra screws located on the upper side of the grill.

I got the 2 screws which you simply have to pinch to get them through. However, there are 2 other screws which are screwed into a sleeve which "explodes" at the tip so that it can not be pulled out. Argh, pulling won't get it out. The plastic is more likely to break.

Any suggestions?
 
Thats funny

I like that first step in that image from the manual.
Step 1 remove the bumper. haha
yeah you know it snaps on and off just like that.
 
i got mine of now and i removed 4 total i think and then i had to pull liek a Muther F*cker to get it off but now knowing what is holding down the rest of it i think you can push down on it and slide it out towards you to release it from the hooks/holders

It's not that hard... The first time I removed it to change the weak-ass horn I had no instruction and got it off fine...
 
junkyards. I like the ones from late 80's early 90's chevy sedans the best.
 
Aight, thanks for the pictures.

Now, how do you remove the top piece of the grill? The bar part which comes black and most people paint to body colour.
