Depending on if you have the horse or not you'd have to take the horse off. Other wise it just clips on. If it came with directions read them, it's bolts right on to the stock grill.

If you take a small screwdriver to the retainer clips, pry on them slightly and pull on the grille, it will pop out. Note: I would cover your front bumper with masking tape so you don't scratch your front bumper upon removal.

I use a hose removal tool to pry the tabs ... makes it easy and takes all of 5 min. Remove the upper radiator cover and you can reach all the tabs with the tool

Installed the grille last night, it looks great way better than I ever expected, there was one little problem with the back of the fog light bumping aginst one of the horns, I had to drop the left horn about an inch, but besides that it was a breeze, well worth getting
