I just took off the radiator cover and started popping out the tabs. I thought there were 8 tabs, 2 on each side, 2 top and 2 bottom

Very easy to do. 4 locations have tabs, top and bottom corners. Don't pry on the grill tabs, flex the bumper around the tabs.

I took out andrews old grill and installed a new one in about 8 minutes
