if its anything like the 05-09, remove the rad cover by removing the plastic scrivits, and it should clip in, push the tabs in and it should slide out.

yup the plastic push pins on the rad cover are easy to get off, pry the center up with a screw driver then gently pull it up and it should pop out. then it should lift off and you will see the plastic tabs that hold it in.

funny just how much of this car is held together with plastic and metal clips vs nuts n bolts.

I was looking at it and thought "Nah.... it can't just be held on with clips.... there must be some screws I can't see somewhere"
