I got my Z28 grill in today, and I don't see how I can get to the screws on my RS grill (or even where the screws are for that matter). Where are the screws located and what is the best way to install this grill? No hurry because I have to re-paint the grill because there is some red paint on it (looks like from a crappy paint job done on the car it was installed on), and the paint on the Chevy logo also needs to be re-painted.

BTW, I have a 1991 RS.

You have to get under the car to see the screws. Once you get the car up in the air, look under the car at the front bumper area, you should see 4 or 6 (I can't remember) torx bolts holding the grill on the top and bottom at the corners. If you have the front license plate holder package, than unbolt it first (should be 3 torx bolts in front of the grille) Just unbolt and remove the old grille, and then install the new grille with the old hardware. Don't forget to reuse the U-nuts (the things that the bolts thread into) from the old grille to the new grille.

Could I get to those screws by removing that black piece under the hood?

Alright, I got my RS grill off and sanded down the Z28 grill and it's ready for paint. Hopefully the humidity will be lower tomarrow so I can paint this. I notice I will have to drill into the body to mount this with the mounting holes on the Z28 grill, do you have any tips on how to do this and use the stock screws?

Sorry, I don't. I've never messed with a Z28 grille, I've only replaced my stock RS one.
