basic idea is take the black cover off in front of engine bay area. (about 10 bolts 10mm size and 6 plastic clips, with a screwdriver. Remove the 2 bolts that hold the radiator catch tank and slide it back, then push it back towards rear of car and slide it over to ***** that stick out near radiator catch tank. Then undo the 7 pinch-push clips and 2 pull clips from the inside and black cover will come off. Lastly remove the 5 screws on the inside of the grill and then pinch and push the 4 clips holding the grill in. Mt. Fuji symbol removes easily.
