I was looking at removing the grille of my 2016 Fit, and came across a set of instructions that wanted you to remove the bumper first. Is this really necessary? The reason I'm trying to remove the grille is because I plan on putting 1080 Scotchprint over it so it will protect the plastic, and most of all look cool. I guess I could put the vinyl on the grille while its on the vehicle, but it will be more difficult.

 

yes because there are clips you can't access without pulling off bumper
and the grill come off from the back

 

Hmmm, I see. Well, thanks. I guess I'm going to be doing the thing on the vehicle.

 

It's not all that hard to pull the bumper. Takes 3 minutes once you know what you're doing.

 

Thanks Danny j7, I applied the 1080 vinyl with it attached already though.
It looks good although it made it a lot more difficult to put on, and could of looked better with it off. Usually I'd be up for it no problem. Oh well, I will see how this holds up for now. I also put some red H on it.
