If you look at the second picture you can see where I had to leave some of the stock plastic in the surround, it actually looks better that way because it seems as if it came like that instead of just being open on the sides.

actually already traded a guy my grill for his and then I plan on cutting up his old grill and he paid for the cw grill for me.
Thanks for all the help guys, I got the grill off and was actually able to separate the center sections of each grill, got them swapped now when I have some more time I will cut up the old grill and install the new cw one.

Just helped a friend install a bug shield on his new Platinum....and we "learned" how to remove the grille.
The bolts and nuts on the back side of the grille are easy.
The tabs at the top of the grille are pushed into metal clips with teeth on them that make it very easy to install on the assembly line.....but they do not want to come out.
We ended up using a towel-covered wide pry bar to get them to come out and still broke off a few.
But it doesn't matter if you break the tabs off as the bolts and nuts hold the grille on very securely.
Take it easy....don't scratch the paint......
Good luck.
