    No need to remove entire grill on my 13 sport, I'm a big guy and my hands were able to reach down and unclip it no problem. Just a heads up for anyone who wants to doit but doesn't want to take everything apart, there's no need to.

    Just did mine yesterday and found out the same thing. Super easy to reach behind and unclip it!

    I did it the other day, just sprayed it on, let it dry, and rubbed it off with a damp towel everywhere I didn't want it!

    It was only 3 plastic clips(use a flat head) and two screws to unscrew. There is also a plastic clip in the middle, at the bottom of the grill It took only 60 seconds to remove. I found it a lot easier than leaving it on the truck. Plus I didn't have to tape the truck off to do it.

    Plastidipping my emblems today. So glad I read this thread before I started. Taping off that front emblem promised to be a royal pain in the ass.
