GRILLE
Distinct grilles are used on Pontiac, Grand Prix,
GTO, Tempest and Firebird. All are integral with
the front bumpers, the split grille shells being re-
tained and entirely surrounded by the front face bar.
The Grand Prix and GTO have their own distinct
grille design incorporating headlight doors, which
conceal the horizontally mounted lights when not in
use. The two doors swing down to reveal the head-
lights. All operating mechanism is held by the
bumper and must be removed to replace the grille
shells.
To remove and replace grille on all models,
proceed with disassembly as described in Front
Bumpers, section 14.
