When I reassembled my grille, I bolted the five uprights to the back bars first, then added the front bars. When I assembled the front clip, like you, I don't recall what went on first, but it may have been grille last. But the lower splash apron was one of the first things that went on as it bolts to the radiator support. I do recall getting a few of the lower splash apron to grille screws lined up was a bit difficult as my lower splash apron needed some pretty serious straightening and might not have been spot on. The hood latch plate went on last. Here's some pics.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
