How to remove grill/grill surround?
DIY: HOW TO REMOVE YOUR GRILL
I've did it fairly quickly so please understand..
1) Remove the cover when you open the hood.. there are 9 of them.. push them in and it will pop out..
2) Remove this 10mm bolt
3)Remove these with flat head or something.. this is on both sides.. one on the left is for the grill+surround and right is to seperate grill from surround..
4)undo the side clips from both sides.. one on the middle is guidance clip so dont worry about that. (when you installing it back just make sure u have that through the hole) Just undo the one from top and bottom..
5) Undo clips from bottom of the grill. i think there are three of them..
AS YOU UNDO IT START PULLING THE GRILL FORWARD
6) once you undo the clips carefully flip the grill like this..
and push those things down with flathead. (you kinda have to get used to it) those are the things holding rubber sealing..
your grills should be free now...
7)to seprate grill from the surround undo these from the bottom
8) and from the top
9) AND YOU ARE DONE
Need more help pm me..
Good Luck

2011 GS 350 Grill
Pics would be awsome!
my grill Moulding was damaged when I bought my 2011. Started taking mine apart, but could not see how to get it to pop out after all the top stuff was off. Didn't have the guts to pull real hard.
