Can anyone provide me with some links or instructions on how to remove the grille?

I assume it would be pretty self explanatory to do it after you remove the bumper cover.

i think the instruction from toyota also say remove the bumper

technically you remove the front engine bay panel and also the rubber trim, and then you pull the chrome trim forward, then you should be able to access the grille

What year? I removed my grill and I didn't have to take the bumper off. The hardest part to me was the rubber seal that connects to the grill and putting that back together.

Yeah...you don't really have to take out the bumper, just be careful with the chrome frame when you pry the grill out, don't use too much force on the frame, otherwise you will break the center screw that bolts onto the bumper. GOOD LUCK!!!

I didn't know the chrome trim and grille were two separate pieces. I just need to have the chrome trim replaced because somebody backed into it and etched it.
