How to remove grille?

[Mcran93]

I have a 2004 base vibe and have been trying to figure out all day how to get the grille out so I can paint it but for the life of me I can't get it out. Does anyone know how? If so please tell me!

Bottom ones pop out without any pins or screws, and the top ones are pretty easy. Remove the two screws with the rubber things in the bumper, then remove the three body pins from the top of the grille, one in the center by the hood latch, and the other two going from grille to radiator support. Start to unscrew them with a screwdriver, but push on the bottoms of the threaded part to help them out. After that get it free of the few clips that are built into the bumper. I've done it a few times, and it's not that hard.

I re-did it in chrome to match the rest of the car, I'll put some pics up later.
