Also I found a pre-94 grille in pretty decent shape. It did have a crack in it, but I was able to use some plastic weld to repair.

Side note, anyone know how to remove the emblem? On the back it looks like there are two plastic screws that thread into grille, but I'm not sure on how to get it off without breaking it.

Assuming they're like the '94+...

The emblem has two plastic studs on the back that poke through the grille, and those two plastic studs are grabbed by self-threading nuts that will cut their own threads into the plastic. Put a socket on those nuts and back them off, and the emblem should fall right out.

I'm planning on swapping out the two grilles today, so I'm going to find out how interchangeable they are...

On the emblem, I didn't even noticed the two metal nuts on the studs. Felt kinda stupid when I realized that because I've come across those before.

Do you have the pre-'94 lower filler pieces? IIRC you'll need those (the big one in the middle plus the two smaller side pieces) and something else I know I'm forgetting... The corner lights are different pre and post '94 as well.

How come you want to take off the emblem?
