How do I install RS grill to Iroc/Z28 Grill?

Hi, I just purchased a brand new grill for my 91 RS, and i was wondering how to install it. Its not a 91 or 92 grill it says CAMARO on the front instead or having the bow tie and I was wondering how to install it. I'm sure its easy, but I don't want to risk messing anything up on my car, so who wold know better then veterans who have done the mod before. Pics would be great, but any type of description would be a big help thanks!

Physically it either fits or it doesn't, it is attached by a few screws possibly torx screws and should be remove it, install it. Am I missing something, are you trying to figure out how to fab it in there

Thanks for the response!
Naw, I'm not trying to fab anything, I just don't have the first clue about taking the old grill out, and installing this new one I just got lol

Just look directly at the grille closely, you will see screws attaching it

Re: How do I install RS grill to Iroc/Z28 Grill?

Remove the license plate and the other few torx or bolts. Reverse the process to put the other one on.It's been a couple years since I put mine together. Not hard realy.

Yes. And your RS grille may have 3 screws through the front (under the louvers) holding the center section in. Your new grille probably has 4 screw holes in the sides of the center section (2 in each side), I used some drywall screws there for my grille.

Re: How do I install RS grill to Iroc/Z28 Grill?

Thanks for all ur input guys, you were all a big help, i got the grill on an it looks great i had to go under the car and remove a couple bolts from the air tunnel thing, then i could take a 4 screws that you cant get from the front, then i just put the new grill on changed some clips on the top, put in 4 new screws on the sides of the new grill and put the two screws on the top of the grill back on, screwed the bolts back in from the air tunnel thing an it looks great ill put pics up soon.
Thanks again.

Re: How do I install RS grill to Iroc/Z28 Grill?

The top ones along the back edge should be the same.You will have to drill the holes along the inside edges.
