It's not hard to do. It's been a while so forgive me if I miss something. On each side where it meets the fender there are 3 nuts (I think) on each side that you have to take off and to get to those you have to losen the front side of the wheelwell trim and stick your paw up there. Then on the front on the upperside of the big cooling duct in the middle ("the mouth" if you will) there are *I think* four interesting plastic clips that have to be pulled out. You'll have to investigate those things, I popped them out starting with a flathead and then by wedging a tool that's made for removing plastic clips/plugs that looks kinda like a small crowbar on a screwdriver handle. That's about it. The rest is self-explanatory right in front of you on the front part of the frame.
