I'm planning on putting in a couple of new horns (the Maxima's horns are weak) and in order to get to one of them, the grill has to come off. Can anyone give me a quick "how-to" on removing the grill? I used to do it on my '91 Sentra SE occassionally, but this one is quite a bit different.

You have to remove the whole front bumper. The grill is attached to it. SORRY!

No problem! I found out the hard way, I had painted the grill on my original bumper and I couldn't find any screws or clips to take it off.

I changed my horns. . . It took a little fancy hand movements to screw the new one in w/o taking off the bumper, but it is possible. Yo Ken Doh Eet!
