Super easy. A few nuts on top and slides off. Then the inside grill is removed from the surround. Takes about 2 min to remove 30 to replace with new one.

Came out easy. Harder to put back in.
Everything has to line up just right and it will pop back in place.
Took my SR grill out and put a TRD grill in it in about 30 minutes.
That included removing and installing the trim rings. Be careful with tabs.
Work them out slowly by working your way around trim ring 2 or 3 times.
Dont force anything or they will break. Not sure if Sport is any different.
