Pop your hood and follow the grill. You will see where it is screwed in on both sides. Grab a phillips, loosen the screws and it will pop off.

Keep trying...use long needle nose pliers, or a long flathead screwdriver and take your time.

It'll come off...trust me.

dont forget that theres a clip in the middle (95-96 are screwed on)

theres 2 clips on each side on the top and its also held by 2 "things" on the bottoms that you might have to pry up

it took me forever to figure it out...you need a flat headed screw driver to turn those pain in the butt clips. they are in there right now at an angle so they look diamond shaped, you need to turn those so they are square and then, like somone else said get that other middle screw first(also don't forget the two clips on the inside top of the grille...it should pop off. sorry if that's hard to follow, just take a good look at it and eventually it makes sense and is pretty easy. goodluck

why are you taking it off anyways?

They look Way too much like a pontiac, but I still like it 10x better than the stock '95 grill which looks like a$$.

This one looks good i think, it is NOT mine, although mine is close, just different color.
Pic was too big, heres a link.
