  • how do you remove the factory front license plate holder on a camaro?

    just got a billet grille for my z28 (I know this is a v6 board but I figured what the hell). This grille goes over the factory grille so I need to remove the license plate holder but I tried pulling it off and those screw things hold it in very tightly. Any suggestions?

    It's been a while since I took mine off but I could have swore the screws just unscrew. Guess not though. One thing you might want to try is just removing the whole stock grill since you aren't really gonna see it unless your right infront of it. For that just pull the damn thing out. Since your car is silver I think having no grille underneath would look better any ways. Just my opinion though.

      I thought you HAD to remove the stock grill to put a billet one on? Never knew they mounted over it... But as for the license plate, just rip the b|tch off, that's how I got mine off. The screws don't just unscrew, so you just have to pull on it hard enough.

        www.wee1.com has one that mounts over top of it. You can see a pic of it I took since I haven't mounted it yet at www.aodclan.com/z28 [img]smile.gif[/img]

          unscrew your license plate
          there will be 2 holes under where the plate was....take a correct size allen wrench and turn them counter clockwise until you can pull the piece off.......don't go yanking it, you'll strip threads.....

              the rivets on mine came out with a good yank. just pull real hard and put pressure on the black grill behind it so it doesn't pop off either.

                Coly crap batman! wee1 wants 90 bucks for the squarelight camaros! I just got the grille AND vent billet covers for $50 off Ebay!

                I looked at mine today and it had rivets instead of allen screws. CRAP.

                I guess I'll have to yank that sucker off.

                  I got mine from wee1 off ebay for $60 [img]smile.gif[/img] . I had to rip my license plate bracket off and I can't put the grille on until I have somebody help me to hold it up while I run the ties. What aroyal pain in th eass. It took a lot of strength to pull that plate holder off and I'm a pretty strong guy. :D

                      feel free to create a new topic instead of bringing back an old one. also, im not even sure you and the guy who started this topic had the same front end. i think he had a 98+

                      please add some detail to your post
