Being new to this forum I must not have the touch at doing searches. I was looking to remove my front grill to clean and paint. I found the two screws on top that hold it in (under the hood) however, I am not able to locate any more. Anyone have a step by step or photos to assist?
Thanks in advance,

Re: Speaking of grills
Jay,
I assume the 2 screw you found are the ones shown in the image below (only one shown in the photo).

There are 2 more screws to remove the top grill. You will need to remove the chrome strip. See images.


It should come out after that. You will then be able to see the screws holding the lower grill easier.

Re: Speaking of grills
I am not sure why the images I post get cut off, as they have been adjusted to be 640 wide. They seem to fix themselves in a little while, so check back later to see the arrows I placed on the images.

Good Going. I'm not sure I've seen a black spider. I love how the red hood badge stands out.
