Default How to remove front plate cover...

The polished inserts on my front plate cover are beginning to fall off. I want to remove the cover, yank them out, and possibly have the cover repainted. How does this cover come off? I don't want to break the sucker. Forgive my vette noobiness (is that a word?) -peter

There is two screws at the bottom of the cover. Take them out and the cover comes off.

Thanks, Allen. I just inherited the vette from my Dad, who passed away in June. I drove it from AZ to FL and arrived on Sunday. I've been learning as much as I can about all the little cosmetic fixes I want to do to the car, but I haven't leaned over that far to see the screws! I fear I will be getting even lower, as I want to replace the three rubber spoilers and add those skid wheels, too... thanks again!
