Problem removing factory grille, advice?

So I bought myself a Chrome Grille from Roush to put on, thought i could do it today but I started removing the nuts on the screws, the hood roof ones came out find but when I got to the ones on the top edge of the grille, only the middle ones would come out. I wd-40 the crap out of the others but they wouldn't come off....for some reason the wrench would spin and so would the nut on the screw but it wouldn't loosen.


Anyone else have this problem? If so whats a solution besides ripping out the damn thing lol sorry but probably much easier at this point lol

well now you are gonna have to figure out how to get the grille off, i would use a dremel. ultimately you will need a new surround.

you can't buy just a new surround, only comes with a grille. best bet is to find a used one. i have a red one at my buddy's house, some scuffs on it though.
