    Here's the DIY from Jae:

    DIY Grill

    Material
    + shaped screwdriver
    Flathead Screwdriver (recommended)
    Extra helper (recommended)

    Instructions
    1. Unscrew the two screws above the grill holding it together

    2. Pry up the middle piece that holds the grill together.

    3. There are 3 tabs from the grill attached into the bumper. For each tab, you will have to lift it upwards, then push it outwards. Tips: Use a screwdriver to push up the tabs (towards the hood). If you want, get a friend to hold down the bumper while you try to pull the grill out. Start from the sides, then do the middle tab last.

    4. It should come out easily then, the sides should just slide out too.

    5. Put the Altis Grill on, snapping the tabs in first, then aligning it.

    6. Place the 2 screws back in. Note: The middle piece will not fit anymore because the Altis Grill will make it out of place for some reason! So for those who are installing this, don't worry. You did not make a mistake!

    Did you cut that peice off? That is needed for the hood. You dont need to cut it off you just bend it to line it up for the pin and that pin that you had to pry out from the old grill will fit in there perfectly.
