Car fixed, nismo front, 06 proj, ionic grill, etc

More Pics coming shortly, will bump when added, but I also have an issue.

Crappy iphone night pic.



I can't for the life of me get the OEM grill off to put the ionic one on. The bottom tabs just wont come out no matter what I do. It must be because of the nismo front, I think I even broke one of the metal (?) tabs in half!! Anyone have any ideas?

I used this: https://g35driver.com/forums/body-in...tallation.html
Which obviously makes it look like I should be done within 5 minutes...


It just wont come out, none of them...sigh

It's really a 5 min job, but then took me 15 min for the first time.

Take out the top push-in screws with a flat-head screwdriver, each screw has a lock on the top, so just flick on the locks to loosen it. The 4 bottom tabs, use one hand to gently push on it and another hand to pull the grille forward, do one tab at a time.

I did the top push ins no problem of course. The bottom tabs, I was doing exactly what you said, it just wouldn't budge. The bumper flexed with it, so it def wasn't coming loose. Gonna try again soon, plus pics, but I've been hit with a 102 fever the past 2 days
