Grille removal process
Here is the procedure for removing the grille. Remove the hood catch bracket, the grille garnish, then the grille itself. B-Which screw is stripped on your car?

I like chrome set against all black grille
On the emblem-I would keep it chrome. I think it looks very crisp against the new black grille. I masked off the actual chrome emblem part and painted the rest of the emblem housing black. It makes all the grille parts nice and black with only the actual chrome logo left in the center. But I have seen the logo all black and its a different cool look as well. What color is your car? Maybe all black would look better? Good luck.

Since the screw was stripped, I've always had to use newspapers to paint because the grill just won't come off. Here is a pic of the work. However it is still drying in my garage right now
My car is looking like darth vader! hahaha
I'll have pics of the finished product tomorrow.
