  • Installing OEM grille

    I just bought a new OEM grille from GM and want to replace the old grille on my car. I yanked the old grille out and I am somewhat confused on the parts that I need to fasten the new grille. I have heard some people say "pins", some say "Christmas tree pins" and some say "Spring steel nuts"..

    Does anyone know what the proper fastener would be, where can I buy them and what do they look like? Pictures would help a lot.

    Thanks, Joe

    edit, wait are you talking about the big plastic mofo grille?

    it should just pop in there without pins since the OEM just had tabs around the outside of it that hooked into slots

      OEM grille yes.

      Popping it in does not work on the new grille or the original OEM grille that I pulled out. I can place the grille in the front bumper but it will not just clip it. It needs to be fastened.

        Yes it dose just pop in place but to hold it on there are two nuts that go on some plactic bolts that are molded to the grille, you should be able to get them on from underneath the car.

            Yeah, mine where broke off from who ever owned my car before me but it held on fine just beeing cliped in, had to push it in every once in a while, I didnt even know it had the plastic bolts untill I had to replace my bumper from when some ******* backed into me and left a hole in my bumper from his trailer hitch.

                Ouch is right, the worst part was it was a hit and run and had no idea who did it.

                  ****ing people have no respect. i almost had that happen to me 4 or 5 years back by a neighbor, unfortunately for her i watched the whole thing play out, ran her *** down and tore her a new ******* then raked her insurance company over the coals. she about crapped her pants when she saw my big *** coming towards her and her bf **** a brick i think.
