removal of stock grill

I have a '96 civic and I was wondering how I take out the stock front grill. I unscrewed all the plastic screws on the top of the grill but it still seems to be screwed onto something else. Can anyone tell me what my next step is without taking the front bumper off.

Thanks!

u have to take the bumper off

one screw each going in the fender....plus two 10mm bolts underneath the bumper. once u take these off.....take off all those plastic plugs and simply pull the bumper gently outwards.

turn it upside down and unscrew around 5-6 screws to take off the grill.

umm i loosened my rad in my 00 civic and it gave me room to fit my hand in, then i losened a screw from each side of the grill alternating to put my type r grill in a few weeks back, just take ur time and be careful, u need to pull it a bit but dont pull it to the point that u break something.

^^ Don't do that way. Take the bumper off and unscrew the screws beneath the bumper as Szuberi stated before. If you do it the other way, you will run into problems and possibly break something
