2. Eliminate the screws (They are plastic so I would certainly use a hand screwdriver as well as not power) from the plastic radiator cover



Some of my screws would not unscrew, so I applied higher stress with a flathead screwdriver as well as it worked with most of them. I broke one off even if I could not get it out. When I put the screws back in, I simply utilized hand pressure and I really did not need to make use of a screwdriver. I may have to replace these with steel screws!

You only have to remove two from each side. Don't eliminate the pins that are in the center of the border. These were a HUGE annoyance for me. I ended up mutilating my pins and also scraped up my bumper a little. I did not like this step one bit! I was able to put them back in ok.



6. On the bottom of the grille border somewhere in the center you will see 2 long items linking all-time low of the grille surround to a part of the structure. It's held on by a clip you must be able to press to launch.
