Got the recessed top grilles from gmpartsdirect - taking off the stockers is a royal {hold down shift key while running across the number row} {repeat previous step multiple times} I ended up gouging the bumper in a few places but fortunately it's not terribly noticeable, but still...

Anyway here's some driveway pics along with some glamour shots near the gazebo in West Caldwell :cool:

sweeeet...the key it to pry toward the grill not toward the fascia.
Which is exactly opposite what you would think.
Did you see the how to on that?

Worst case remove the pushpins up top and bend it back some to access behind it.

Pix look awesome!! Go back there when those trees have Christmas decorations on them!! :D
Does look great. but if you think the top were a pain to remove, just wait until u do the bottoms (if you ever do). They are just as hard, but have a bonus. They have adhesive tape all around.

Did find a "how to" thread on here and used the small screwdriver/playing card technique - didn't catch the "pry towards the grille" trick tho' - well, too late for me but if anyone else does this it definitely sounds like a good idea and would probably have saved the embarassment of a bent fascia :banghead:

And never thought about going there at Christmastime, although you figure the only time you would see the lights would be at night so the car wouldn't show up so good :eek: Funny thing too about that setting - I've used it a few times for photoshoots with my Grand Prix, the last time at least 2 years ago, and those trees have grown quite a bit now, to the point where you can only see one flag at a time instead of the three that are there, which actually in a way was liberating in that now I could work from different angles since I could only get the American flag in the scene
, rather than going from a more narrow range that would incorporate all three. Here's what I'm talkin' 'bout:





And thanks for the compliments guys!
