    The "grille", i.e. cross bars, center logo, side vent looking things, chrome/painted surround is to the best of my knowledge is all-in-one.

    Two screws and two tabs along the top and it pulls straight up.

    Got pictures?

    x2, it's supposed to have plastic rivits with melted tips holding the chrome or painted portion to the grille frame.
