removing the front plastic grill

i was thinking of removing the front grill just to see how it looks. how is the removal process..is it fairly simple? i want to make sure i could put it back on just in case later on.

anyone had any experience with it?

Remove the bumper, look at it from behind and you will see how simple it is. 1 minute job.

One minute?

The first time you remove the front bumper, it may take a tad bit more then 60 seconds...
... unless you're using a chainsaw...
