How do you do it? I just looked under the hood and can't really see any easy way to get the stock gold bowtie out without completely removing the stock grille...am I missing something?

There are 10mm speed nuts on the back of the gold bowtie. You can reach in behind from above and remove them. There are a couple of small pieces of 3M trim tape still holding it on but by gently prying, you can now remove it.

Quick question...

I just looked at what speed nuts are as I am not familiar with them..how are they removed..do they screw off or do you have to pull them off? When looking down you can't see anything so you have to do it blindly. I feel where they are, I just don't want to force them and brake something. Thanks!
