    I will be installing a new grill soon and I have unclipped all clips and taken out the screws and it seems that the grill is still in place by something on the bottom. Do I just firmly pull up on the grill and it will unclip from the bottom and come out?...i dont want to break anything...
    thanks in advance ;)

    Careful... the clips on the bottom often break when being pulled free.
    I broke one of mine when I pulled mine for the Stoshi.

    As mentioned, they are not critical. The keep rattling down, and help position the grille in relation to the headlight housings. It is secure without it, as there are pins along the bottom that keep it from flipping forward, and of course, the bolts and clips on top.
