Heelp... My searches fail me.
I have started on the re-installation of my radar/laser system. On my '07 I had easy access to the lower grill area (below the kidney grills). On the '08 we have the mesh screen blocking off access to the lower grill. Can this mesh screen be "unsnapped" and removed some how? I am wanting to avoid removing the bumper

Thanks pjinca!
Used the heaters this morning and night ferrying the teenage sons around and they really like the heat - they report they get nice and warm.
Second installment posted - check it out.
