how-to: remove front bow-tie

[thebarber]

thought since i was removing the front chevy bow-tie from the aveo today id make a how-to...

before:


there are 5 screws you need to remove to get the grill assembly out (3 are metal and 2 are plastic):


passenger to drivers side:






once you have the grill assembly out, you need to remove 6 small screws on the back:


and 4 clips (i used a flat-head screw driver to get them out):


then the bow-tie just pops right out...


put the grill back into place and reinstall the 5 screws to hold the grill in, and youre done!


overexposed shot so you can sorta see the mesh....

I did the same steps only added in a mesh since my lady didn't like the idea of debading.
