2005 grille replacement tutorial?

Cant seem to find one anywhere. Do I really have to remove the entire front bumper just to get the grille off?

Removing the bumper cover is actually not that hard. But I recall when replaced my grill with an aftermarket on the 07 I did not drop the entire cover. Popped the hood, removed every fastener across the top, and reached in. It's possible I removed the side fasteners/screws inside the wheel well then pulled the sides out (fasteners in side) so I could get some play from the sides of the cover, but reality is all I had left were all the lower fasteners and the whole cover would have come right off. Patience and a basic mechanical though process, you can figure out where all the fasteners are real easy. Just note that if you're going to drop the cover to the ground, have something to lay it on like a few towels, and don't kick it across the concrete. it will scratch.
