1) open your hood (7 seconds)

2) pop off the 4 plastic screws on top of your grille with a flathead screw driver (about 30 seconds)

3) reach behind the grille and push up the latches and pull the grille - there are like 4 I think. (about 1 minute)

done

it's pretty intuitive once you look at it. I just did my 05 this afternoon.

Don't forget the two 1/4 turn bolts on either side of the grill, that you access through the upper slits (from the front) of the grill... You'll need a small to medium sized flat head screwdriver, turn them about 1/4 of a turn either direction and it'll pop out.... The rest as mentioned... If it's taking you longer than 5-10min, you're doing something wrong...
