Default replacing std grill with wire mesh - 04 S

I purchased a mesh grill on Ebay, but came with no instructions. Any suggestions on how to install?
Also can anyone tell me how to remove the existing grill and shroud?
I have removed the top two #10mm screws but it is still attached.
Thanks!

I just did the same swap. There's actually 4 bolts you have to loosen up. If you still have the stock grille I think there's a way to kinda poke through the front part to access the other two bolts. It's hard to explain. If noone else posts a detailed guide by hte time I finish up with my work today, I'll post photos for you to go by.

GL with the swap!

At the upper area on each side, there are 2 #10mm hexheads that I have removed.
Looking down from above and behind the grill, there are 2 torx screws, one on each side about half way down.
Are these the 4 connections you are referring to?
Thanks for the reply!

Nevermind...I figured everything out. Installed the mesh grill this a.m.
Looks factory. Just took my time and didn't even break off any of the plastic tabs removing the chromed plastic trim ring!! Bought a can of matching dark grey metallic paint to touch-up the places where I cut the bars out.
Thanks anyway guys.
