removing the grille pony???

How do I remove the pony in the grille? I looked at it and it appears to take a torx wrench(allen wrench in the shape of a star) but in the middle there is a pin that prevents the tool from going in. I know a lot of people with Cobras change out the running horse with a snake. I just want to take the pony out cause it looks cleaner without anything there. Its on a 96 GT if that matters.

You need to purchase what is called a safety torx bit. I called around to some of my local tool places and got 5 sizes in one pack for $2.00. Regular torx will not work the safety ones have a hole in the middle to go around the pin.

or you could cut the slot in the torx bit itself, then you would'nt mess up the screw.
