I started this project at about 6:30 pm last night and finished at about 8:30 since I had a hard time getting the front grill off without taking the whole bumper off.
I didn't get the opportunity to see my work in the light till this morning and I think im pretty happy with it. I am going to re do it now that I understand how the knifeless tape works and try to get some cleaner lines but all in all I think everything went well.
What do you guys think.

how did you get the top grille out, I tried to take mine out to make mesh inserts but I stopped cuz I didn't want to break anything.

Ok maybe tomorrow I will try to explain with pictures...
This is how I did it:

First I popped my hood and removed the plastic above the radiator.
all you need to do to accomplish this is to push the pins down then pull them out. There are 6 of them. There are also rubber pins, one on each side, take a key and put it in between the tab and the plastic stopper to pry them up.

There are 4 screws holding the grill in place, Two at the top (one left, one right. You will need a Philips head screw driver to unscrew them. To get to them reach down in front of the radiator (use caution not to damage your horn wires.)

The other 2 screw are in the middle of the grill on the far left and far right... the left one is easy to get to but you cant see it so you need to feel for it.

The right one is tuff. To get to this on I went in front of the right wheel well and took out the 4 steel colored screws and 2 black screws holding the small piece of plastic in front of the wheel well and reached in to find the screw there.

After you remove the screws there are tabs on the top bottom and side and you just gently pry them one by one till the grill pops out towards you.

I hope this helps. When I get a little bit of time, or the next time I wrap my lower bumper I will take pictures of the steps I took.
