I've removed my center grill numerous times and have never taken off the bumper to do it. You can pry the top part back far enough to get at the 5 screws (4 visible...1 in the middle is a little deeper) holding it on. Use a short philips or a drill with a flexible 10" attachment to get in there. Easy...you'll have it off in 5 minutes.

Nice work! I might try this instead of repainting if the center bar turns out right. 
sure, I should finish up my car first though. I need to remove the front center and the trunk trim as well. Don't worry guys, I'll jump on it.
Since your in irvine, have you been to meguiars?

Does anyone know where I might be able to find some gunmetal gray vinyl wrap ? Been searching online, so far unsuccessfully.

do you guys think you can use this stuff for your interior? i wanna cover up the silver strip along the center console with the carbon fiber kind... do you guys think it would work/look nice?

I just wanted to add my information here. I did this to my TL last weekend using matte black vinyl from stickercity.com. It was a piece of cake, for the most part. I screwed up on the bottom part because I didn't leave enough to wrap around the top. When I did it the first time and re-installed it, I could still see the chrome part. Thankfully I had enough leftover in my roll to redo it. I had to splice two pieces together, but it works for now. I'm going to buy another roll soon and redo it. It was such a great mod for $25, well, gonna end up being $50 since I have to order another one.

How hard was it to do the center bar? I already did the hood trim piece and it turned out good just dont know about the center bar because of all the curves
