Anyone know how to remove the front license frame?

**Rich L** · 01-07-2009, 07:23 PM

There seems to be 3 rivits holding it to the frame to the stock plastic grill.

I was scared to pry it off. as not to damage the "camaro" plastic grill behind it.

Any suggestions appreciated!

What I did was drill out the rivits.

Can't help you. While I have the front license plate frame for the 02 (still in the plastic wrapper) it was never installed.

I pried mine off as carefully as I could working each side of the rivits untill they popped out. There's a few light scratches in the plastic of the grille, but more obvious now is the 2 big holes. I need to start looking around to find something to put in there to kind of mask them. Any ideas out there?

So there are 2 big holes behind the frame/backing??

Maybe I'll try to drill them out...

I did sneak a little peak behind it, because its a little flexible...
and noticed the "Camaro" logo on the bumper. It would seem nicer than just having a black plastic license plate holder doing nothing.

Since I dont need it anymore I just want to rip it off!

I bought an undrilled grill on Ebay for $20, and replaced my drilled grill.

I pulled mine out today. I just pulled it straight out. The previous owner used three long screws to hold the license frame on and drilled them into the bumper cover....

You unscrewed them?

I have dumb rivits!

I'll try to post some pics.

I unscrewed the license plate frame and pulled out the black trim piece that fills in the front of the bumper cover. It popped out.

I used for a week before I replaced with the SLP bowtie grill, didn't even get any bug guts on it.

No the holes are in the black plastic part where it says Camaro.

I'll keep my eye on ebay for a new grill at a good price.

if you have a pair of snips i would cut the rivets off. What I did was take the whole grill piece out and then I work on the license plate. it was easier for me to do it that way... just my .02
