Default Is it Difficult to Replace Front Grille Moulding?

I need to replace my front grille moulding only (not the chrome grille) on my 06 GS430. I already bought the part, but was curious if anyone can tell me long it should take me to replace. thanks

remove bumper should takes about 10mins, just a load of screws. and I guess the grill is easy access from there.

no need to remove the front bumper. just remove the engine panels and carefully remove the molding along the front above the grille (its stretches easily and plus it has little darts on it to stay in). then you can either pull the grille forward a bit to get to the bottom screw or remove the bottom panel under the car and go from the bottom. the rest is just clipped in.
