its should be able to come off. I think its held together by plastic rivets. Worst case just cut them off.

There are several replacement grilles. They all fit over, actually connect to the existing one. Unless the damage is real bad, you prob won't see it after a new grille.

I've seen some nice billet style grilles, but I don't know how they are mounted.

Try searching ebay "350z grille".

I saw one for sale on the forum here a few weeks ago.

Good luck.

Sorry, the bumper and the existing grille are one molded piece. I realized this when I was installing my intake. I you look VERY closely at it, you will see that it is one piece. This is also why bumper paint chips are black. The entire bumper is black so they did not have to paint the grille. This is also why aftermarket grilles are snap-ons.
