swapping grilles
Hey guys, I'm picking up a silver grille tomorrow and was wondering what was involved in swapping it with my argent stock one? I thought I saw someone describe how to do it in another thread, but I searched and couldn't find it...it's pretty simple right? TIA

remove clips, remove old grill, put in new grill, replace clips, and drink beer.

That's the way to remove it, but you might want to wait for the beer until you are done.

Ok I got the top two screws and two clips out but how do I 'disengage' the last clips on the bottom? I've never seen clips like these...
