Front grill molding is peeling

My 05 RL front grill is peeling on the grey molding, I'm in the process of ordering a new molding. Do I need to take the bumper off to replace it???

The partially chrome corner pieces? Start prying from the rear of the car and move toward the center.

Just replaced mine yesterday. You must take your entire grill off to get to that chrome piece. There are 4 clips holding your grill in place, 2 on top and 2 on the bottom. I recommend removing your radiator cover for easier access. After removing the top 2 clips, carefully tilt it forward and look for the other 2 clips.

Once you pop off the grill, there are 5 screws holding the chrome piece in place.
