I just got a new grille for my 2000 ls. Now im trying to take that old one off. I unbolted the top, but the bottom doesnt want to come out of those clips. Any tricks that I should know? just pull? It seems like the lastic grille would break befor the clips pop loose. I got a brand new grille, but I cant put it on! Its killin me! any tips would be cool!

is the 05 McLaren grille compatible with the 00-02 front fascias? Or just the 03+

All 00-06 grilles are interchangeable.

Take a pair of pliers and squeeze the bottom clips and push them out. The clips have a retainer prong that keeps the bottom locked in. You have to release those to get the grille out.

I also bought a new grille but aren't installing it until the snow goes away. I am also looking at buying the LSE front bumper kit.
