Open up your hood. Look dead center at the plastic piece behind your grill. It is held in by 4 screws. Unfasten the screws and remove. You can then snap the grill out.

There are four vertical screws and 2 horizontal. The Horizontal screws are inside of expanding rivets. You will want to remove all 6 screws and pry the plastic cover off.

After you have removed this the clips holding the grill in will be clearly exposed. Be careful removing it as the plastic has a tendency to break on cold days.
