Lower Grill question
Can you remove it without taking the front end off or damaging it?

What do you mean? You can't remove it as it is just two horozonal slats and three vertical ones that are molded into the front bumper. There's some plastic chicken wire type stuff behind that can be removed -- but it's barely noticeable as is. And yes, the only way to remove that is by taking off the front bumper... unless you just snip it out? But then again, I think it's been discussed here before that it is there to protect the radiator from wayward birds/squirrels.

Yeah, I was referring to the "chicken wire".
I just need it out so I can do a bit of work on the shield deal behind it next to the radiator. It will go back on after I finish. Kinda sucks I have to take the whole damn front off for 30 mins worth of work.....

The front bumper comes off in about one minute. Snaps at the sides, snaps at the top, and I think two or three screws underneath. Really!

There is 8 screws on the bottom actually. And make sure you take note of how things overlap and go together -- it took me a while to put it back on.

I used this fog light install thing to figure it out for the most part. Good help.
