I haven't done this yet, so don't quote me, but I think you have to remove the entire bumper cover to remove the grille.

all you need to do is take off the black clips, then there is 2 screws in the fender wells up top and 2 on the bottom of the fender wells. take those out. pull out the sides of the bumper then pull it down. you just need to take it half off. then its a few bolts on the bottom of the girll

i was wondering the same thing...i couldn't figure out how to get my headlights out without removing the bumper...how did you get the grill out, seeing as how it's attached to the bumper?

take the clips out of the radiator support etc, pull it back and there are a few screw which i used a nubbed screwe driver to remove them with. Afterwars I did the same thing to the grill moments afterwards I was looking at my pretty rs grill
