Default Grill Install Questions...

HELLO all.... i have a 99 civic SiR and i recently bought a aluminum grill for it... i took the bumper off the car to see how i would go amongst installing the grill... after removing the bumper off and tryed to see how to get the old stock grill off i noticed it was actually part of the bumped... so my question is do i have to cut the old crap off the bumper or is there some other way about doing this????? thx....

Don't cut the other crap in your bumper out. You can buy thin metal wire (at a walmart in the florist section). Just wrap the wire and twist. It will hold it great, and it is not too visible.
