2004 Sedan Grill Removal

Hey guys, I just got a 2004 Civic 4 dr EX. I really wanna replace the grill and was lookin at it the other day. The top grill has 4 screws easily removed but the grill would not come off. I think there is more screws on the back side of it, but i didnt wanna break anything the first weekend I had it. If anyone knows how to get that thing off I would really like to know. Its either this or im just gonna take off the whole damn bumber hahaha

So is it pretty much all the screws that i can see for the front bumber??? Or does it mean the head lights have to come off too???

there should be like 20million clips and a couple screws underneath the front bumper. just take those off and then the ones in front of the tires and it should pop out. theres going to be another million screws that hold the grille to the bumper. after that just find the screws and try to put everything back. if you buy the altezza grille you can just clip it on after you've put the front bumper back. but it is easier to do it before hand.

Its easy!! You dont have to remove the whole bumer. Just unscrew the 2 screws on each side of the bumper where it connects to the fender, then u unclip those black clip on top of the grille. Then u pull the sides and ur done. Takes me about 2 min to do that.
