Take the bumper cover off, screws along bottom and 2 in wheel wells, dislodge snap connectors along joint with fender and take out headlights. Disconnect wire harness (driver-side) and lift the bumper slightly up and out. Put on a cloth covered bench and remove inside metal clips---a challenge but can be done---need to spread them open. Install new grill, put back clips (if you pried them open to remove them, then you will need to compress them back to original shape) and be sure to push them in with force. Then back to the car and work backwards. All in all about a 2 hour job if you have everything ready and don't run around for tools.
