Default Replacing the grill...

Can someone out there tell me how to remove the factoery grill? For some reason y mind has just gone blank...and instead of sitting there staring at it I figured I would ask. Thanks in advance.

It's pretty easy:
1) Pop the hood
2) Unscrew the screw in the center
3) Unscrew and pop off the 4 clips on the left and right sides (2 clips on each side)
4) Look behind the grill and you will see 3 clips holding the grill to the front bumper
5) Push down on the clips and push the grill towards the front of the car to release the grill; this may be a little difficult if you have big hands, but you can just use a long screwdriver to depress the clip

Did you purchase a new grill?

Thank you very much for your help. The four screws on the side had me stumped. I recieved a new grill for a gift...I think it is the TRD Altezza one. Now all I have to do is figure out how to get the "Altezza" off of the grill. One again, thanks for your response.
