There are 5 Torx Screws holding the upper bumper & 7 clips on each side of the kidney grille, 2 top, 2 side, 3 bottom.
Tools you will need:
1. Long skinny flat head screw driver
2. Size 30 - Torx Screw Driver
3. You girlfriend's skinny finger (to pop out the bottom 3 clips)
Step 1: Pop the hood
Step 2: Peel off the Rubber Strip to uncover the 5 Torx Screws
Step 3: Unscrew the 5 Torx screws
Step 4: Lift up the 3 white bumper holders and pull the bumper outward about 1 inch
Step 5: Take off the round-rectangular black air intake cover on the left side to access the back of the kidney grilles.
Note: It is MUCH EASIER to start with the left side grille.
Step 6: Use the flat head screw driver to stick out the two clips at the top of the grille, make sure you use one hand to hold the screw driver while the other hand holding the chrome part and trying to pull it outward.
Note: Make use of the rectangular hole at the middle of the two grilles to get access to the 2 inner side clips.
Step 7: Stick the flat head screw driver into the "rectangular" hole to stick out the inner side clip,
Caution: Use another hand to pull out the grille while you doing this step, otherwise the grille might pop back in.
Step 8: Unclip the outer side clip using the screw driver.
Step 9: (HARD) Use you finger to feel the bottom 3 clips and pop them out, use another hand to pull the grill out at the same time.
Step 10: Do the same steps for the other side.
