Hey, I searched and searched both Maxima.org and google and maximadriver.com and couldnt find anywhere how to remove the darn stock grille on a 96. I cant find my haynes manual either! I just got my Trenz grille from CustomMaxima (It got here in like 2 days!!!!!!!!) and I REALLY want to install it!

 

then its pretty straight forward.

get a flat head and pop it in to the holes on the top corners of the grille
there is a slot for the flat head to fit in there and u basically have to twist the washer.
do that to both sides


next if im not mistaken there is another one of these behind the emblem
do the same, a flash light might help u. I dont have the patience so i just rip it off
sometimes the clips break but i stock up w/ those

next one each side of the grille theres these clips that u must push out from underneath.
Basically get a finger under neather the clip and push towards u

good luck.

 

It is real easy...I have a 96 and took them out to change the headlights. The only part that was tough was the center, you almost have to break it to get it out...it won't break, just sounds like it.
