89 Grill Removal

May be a dumb question but how do I go about removing the grill from my 89?

Open the hood, there is a piece of trim that spans the gap from the radiator support and the grill held on with some of those plastic fasteners. Pull that off, you will need some new fasteners. You can get those at Carquest for sure, other parts stores should be able to as well. Once that trim piece is off, look down between the radiator and grill, you will see how the grill is held on. Just squeeze those little tabs at each corner together and start working it out.

There's also going to be one bolt on the upper right hand side of the grille opening, it's a 5/16 head IIRC.
