05+ grille removal

how do you remove the bottom hinges on the 05-07 grille? when i took off the 4 top bolts i saw that the bottom was attached by some type of hinges and i was in a rush and didn't solve it yet, so does anyone know?

Take a long screwdriver and push down on the clips. Start on one side go to the other and it pops right off.

Where do you pop them loose, from under the hood or between the bumper and grill on the outside?

After you take out the top 4 bolts pull the grill toward you a few inches, look down between the grill and the coolers and you will see the 5 "clips" on the bottom that hold it on just push down on those with a long screwdriver.

If I remember right you unscrew the nut off and snap the tabs off.

Take off the cheap nut and then get a couple of small screw drivers to pry/shim the "arrow head" pieces out so the emblem comes off. I wouldn't snap the tabs off or else all that would be holding the emblem on would be the cheap nut.
