Default Replacing upper front grill - easy?

Someone backed into my 2014 F-Sport and the upper grill has a small crack. My dealer estimate was higher than insurance would pay (dealer labor is higher).

So I was thinking of just ordering the part and replacing this myself.

This can't be remotely difficult can it?

You will have to remove the bumper to get to the grill, i had to remove mines back in the summer to repaint the bumper it wasn't that difficult for me because I have done a couple of Hondas and acuras before. Just make sure you take your time and get all the clips and bolts and hidden screws, after you have done that start pulling slowly on one side you will hear the clips pop when you get to the center start pulling the other side, after that you have to disconnect the fog and the drl led light cables and you are done hope this helps.
