Need help removing grill on 2002 tl type s!!!!!

 

Done this. . . . easiest way is to remove the whole bumper and right below the grill i belive there is like 3 clips holding it!! . . . . . or bend it some not good for the paint on the bumper. . and have someone with a small hand and a screw driver unclip them and then it SLides out. . . but when they went to put mine back on with the bumper on the car they scratched the bumper and im yet to get that fixed (so safest but rather timely take the front bumper off. . u want to get it done in seriously 5 minutes reach in and get those three clips off, and then slide the grill toward the engine bay and ur home free (but have fun putting it back on that same way (getting it in the groves underneath the bumper)

 

It's a pain in the ass to remove without taking off the bumper. I hate doing it.

 

is there anyway to remove the chrome grill Molding attached to the hood (the upper piece)?
i was thinking about buying another piece to paint the color of my car for an a-spec look.
