the grille does come apart, if you use the search function you should be able to find some more info on how and how many pieces it ends up being. I know i've taken mine apart, I'm pretty sure there's just some small screws on the back and around the edge that hold the pieces together. I can let you know for sure tonight though.

Yeah you need to get those black nuts off in order to remove the grill from the car & then you can access the screws that hold everything together. I suggest a pair of vise grips & turn them enough to loosen them. They should not be on tight, & once they are free you can turn them by hand. Dealer or dealer parts website is where you can get the replacement nuts.

The peg it screws into might be busted from the grill. It that case you will need a new grill.

Nobody makes an after market grille... you have to make your own... lots of threads here if you search.

There are none for our cars, all those are custom.

I had the same problem when taking off my grill, just wiggle the whole grill around and it should come off from those 2 last screws.
