No , its easy. Search You-Tube, plenty of "How to" vids there. I believe there is a post or two on this site also.

I was thinking about this too because I just bought one on ebay (hopefully will be here this week), it's off a '12 and it's chrome in the middle and the surround, unlike my current grille that is just chrome surround. I looked at the job a little bit and it just looks like bolts on the top and the bottom just fits snug into place.

I just took mine off of my 11 yesterday to install a grille guard and it as really simple.

1. Use a flathead screwdriver to remove the plugs holding the plastic radiator cover on
2. There is 4 bolts along the top of the grill that must be removed
3.there was 6 clips on the back of the grill that we used a pair of channel locks to squeeze together and pop out. There was 4 on the bottom and 2 on top

Hope this helps

I have an 07 proly like yours. I have had my grill assembly off twice in 6 months. First to add billets, then to replace the bowtie. Nothin to it.
Another poster decribed it fully. radiator cover, 4 bolts and a bunch of clips. The clips are the hardest to get loose.
Take your time, keep your cool. Nothin to it.
