Hey Travis,
What you want to do is take the front grill assy. off the car. On the back you'll notice the chrome tabs (they look like they've been melted on). Take a dremel tool and grind off only the very top of these tabs. The chrome piece will come off. When you are done painting put everything back together and drill a small hole it the remaining tabs. Then find some small screws with big heads or use big washers and screw them in the holes you drilled. Either that or Epoxy everything back together. I hope this makes sense, if not E-mail me at Cobraunit@yahoo.com and I'll see if I can help you. Good luck! Andreas

That all made perfect sense, I just decided to very carefully mask instead though! Thanks for the input though!
