2012 TL Grill removal

Does anyone have a DIY on how to remove the grill off a 2012 TL im looking to purchase another one from ACURA and painting or but a vinyl on top of the grill?

I tried to search seem to be a touch fine.

Thanks for the info.

U think it can be done without remove it...that would be so much easier if i could do that..

By the way potmilkz u seem to be very knowledge with wheel settup. quick question
Would i have to roll fenders for a 20 x8.5 offset 38 what a H&R drop?

when it comes to modifying my car.. i dont cut corners.. you wont be able to get around the edges and have the vinyl wrap all the way perfectly if you dont remove it.. take my advice.. remove it and do it correct the first time.. you can remove the grill without removing the bumper.. i can do that on my car so can you.

your wheel size will fit.. although 8.5 is kinda small for my taste.. run 245/35/20 all around you should be fine.

your wheels will not line up with your fender though thus you wont get a flush look.

thanks potmilkz.. yea i would want a more aggressive set up but i dont have to balls yet to make the move lol....

I found a DIY for the grill removal... it looks pretty simple... now just have to order the vinyl layout and wait for the weather here to warm up....

Thanks again
