Its a good idea to loosen the inner fender-to-fender bolts, and the top bolts of the radiator support, and any others as necessary. Be prepared for fitment issues with aftermarket grills, especially at the top corners. Having everything loose will help you avoid scratching the paint while you are wrestling with it.
