Do you mean the grille with the signals or the grille in the air dam?
If it's the first one:
Remove the turn signal bulb holders from their sockets as you would replace a tail light bulb - grip firmly and twist with purpose, but not violently. Once that's complete, remove the 4 screws along the top of the front crossmember supporting the rad and fan assembly. This removes the black piece of cover-up plastic that runs along the crossmember. This will also remove the top portion (hard plastic only) of the intake snorkel. Put that aside, screws and divots along with the plastic pieces.
Now, there are 4 hex bolts, 10mm in size if I remember correctly - 2 at the top of the grille, and two recessed further in at the bottom of the grille. Remove each of them, being careful when "breaking them over" to start loosening them. At this stage, you can carefully remove the grille, being mindful of the headlight lenses.
Reverse to install the grille.
As for the airdam grille, not sure. I'll let someone more experienced with that piece step in here :)
