    I've only ever seen the grills with the 4 holes in the center around the Camaro. I've never seen them where the stock holes are. What brand is it? Any close up pics?

      You guys keep talking about clips? When my nose came off to be repainted before the stripes and hood, there were metal nuts that went on plastic posts on the back of the stock plastic piece, did it change from year to year or what?

        the side and bottom had tabs which I assume had metal clips on the back side. The top ones probably had nuts since they were more round on the end and I couldn't pull them off. I just cut them off and the pieces fell down in back and I never saw them.

            It looks retarded over top of the stock grill. It sticks out by at least 1/2" and looks horrible.

              Brian yu are 100% correct and that is what is being seen in that picture. GMMG just blacked out that area so you would not see body color paint being the grill.

              And FYI the Tom Henery cars were built by GMMG.

                Thanks guys for the info. I took some of your advice and I got it off with out hurting the stock grill. I pulled the sides out, then lifted the bottom of the grill to were I could see the clips. Then took a narrow screwdriver and inserted it into the metal clips on the bottom and twisted them. The tabs came right out. As for the top. I just pulled hard with steady pressure one at a time and the pins pulled right out.
