Replacing grill
Has anyone replaced the grill molding on a 2008 ES. I have tryed and it seems to have to screws at the end that I cant reach.

Doesn't anyone know how the front grill comes off? I've love to know this as well... I tried and there seemed to be two impossible to reach screws down at the bottom that I got stuck on...
thanks!

mistake me if im wrong but most of the grills are usually attached/snapped into the bumper...you have to remove the whole bumper to make it easier to take off

This should help but the bad news is that it appears that the entire bumper needs to be removed first. You'll probably break a few clips in the process as well so be prepared for that.

I believe it's just clips at the bottom or am I standing still.

I mean it looks like it. Do you have long extender? Will any tool fit with bumper in place?
