^ what he said, make sure you are gentle, tabs are fragile and can break if stressed

Default i think so....

i did it on my cab, i'm guessing the sedan is similar.
you'll need to remove the top grill, mine had three torx screws i had to remove. by doing that i was able to reach down infront of the radiator to the back of the lower grill. the grill just snaps in with a number of plastic clips. you will need to push down on the clips to release... it'll take a little fidgeting and feeling around. once you get one unclipped, the rest is easy and the grill pops out, just be gentle and take your time. again, i did this on a cab... it took about five minutes to do.

Default the lower center grille, just below the front bumper? If so just grab with both hands and pull out.

it's amazing how easy it comes out. It's very loose to begin with.

Default if it's not loose to begin with then you'll need to push the sides in towards the center of the car

as you pull towards you. I don't recall the removal method changing for any of the Model Years. Just give it a good tug. Make sure you're grabbing on to the outside fins when you pull.
